Total layman here but somehow very much not-comforted by seeing it's 724 light-years away. That we might not go extinct seems like a far cry from it being safe. And I have an incredibly hard time believing Earth will be unharmed at such a seemingly astronomically small distance. Don't emitted particles travel at like thousands of miles per second?
Edit: Wikipedia says < 1000 LY would have noticeable effects on life on Earth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-Earth_supernova
