A star that is 3 times farther away from Betelgeuse would be more hazardous to Earth because the supernova’s shockwave would be arriving to Earth at a much faster speed, thus delivering much more energy and radiation. As the distance of the supernova increases, the energy and radiation that the supernova delivers decreases. However, because the star that is 3 times farther away is much closer to Earth than Betelgeuse, the supernova shockwave
