Betelgeuse will explode as a supernova and Orion will never be the same. That much is certain. But when will it explode?

It would be crazy cool to see it go supernova, safe from most of the harmful effects and bright enough to light the way at night.
If it's bright enough to light the way at night, isn't it also close enough to cause significant harm?
no, I think it would only be potentially harmful if its poles were pointed directly at us and we were blasted with gamma ray bursts
