Talk:Beta Magellan system

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

[edit] Which star went nova?

Exactly where is the determination that the central star went supernova? If it had, the planet would have been destroyed. I just watched the episode, and all the holodeck character said was that "a star in the system" went supernova. Would it not make more sense that this is a large system, and another star went nova? This would not seem to contradict dialogue, and would allow for the continued existence of the planet. --OuroborosCobra 20:56, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

The central star going nova wouldn't necessarily destroy the planet, but if it wasnt stated which one, we shouldnt speculate too much. -- Captain M.K.B. 21:11, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Why wouldn't the central star going supernova (the episode says supernova, notnova) destroy the planet? Remember the supernova from Star Trek Generations? That released a massive shockwave that destroyed everything in the solar system. Well, regardless, I am going to change it to say that it was a star in the system, and not the central one. --OuroborosCobra 23:01, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
