      But we name constellations and stars and planets from people here on earth. Same planets stars and constillations wont be known to have same names as what we call them. Other beings from other worlds will have differnt names for stars planets etc. What we call stars and objects in the universe wont be named universal throughout the universe

    Stars like Rigel also tend to output most of their radiation in the Ultraviolet end of the spectrum, and their stellar winds are so powerful that by the time they go supernova, they will have lost almost half their original mass in the process.

    Not that I want to lose any of the giant well known stars and need to refigure and rename the constellations but it would be incredible to get to see one of the big fairly close monsters blow. That scene must be amazing. The last was the crab nebulae the star that made it blew a 1000 or so years ago. And was for a few days visible during the day. Chances are very low to have that happen during any single lifetime but there are several that are ready and close enough while being far enough to put on a show while not stripping all life off the planet at least our planet.

    Can I suggest that the speed of light isn’t constant considering that the values to measure the speed which are time and distance are not constant across large distances?
    The earth is flat locally the same as the speed of light is constant locally. Over large distances the earth is not flat and the speed of light is not constant. Light only slows down where and when it encounters the gravity of a galaxy which slows down time and shortens distance the same as we observe it locally on earth.
