Wikipedia (Near-Earth Supernova) says that a 25 ly away supernova would wipe out half the ozone layer so that’s probably the lower bound for what we want

Geez, how many stars do we have that close to us?

So far, we know of 131 stars objects

None. Space is big, and stars that can potentially supernova are rare. …m.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_supernova_candidates

Your answer is a little misleading. I think you meant there are several stars that close to us, but none that can go supernova.

whocares314 ,

That’s fair. It’s also a little misleading because there are other cosmic events that could happen that are both closer to us and potentially further away, and have in the past. I wouldn’t say we are immune from the hazards of space but my comment could have been construed that way.

That’s disappointing
