One of the most anticipated astronomical events is the #betelgeuse supernova. Located on the famous shoulder of Orion, Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star nearing the conclusion of its life. Strangely, in late 2019, Betelgeuse, one of the brightest stars in the sky, began to fade. The fading was so noticeable that it could be seen even without special optics. For a few months, Betelgeuse dimmed until observers began to wonder if the star had died. When scientists focused their most powerful telescopes on the red giant star, they were shocked to see evidence of the great dimming, even though the starβs brightness had returned to normal after a few months. This star is about to blow up as its life cycle comes to an end. When and why might a #supernova happen, and will it have disastrous consequences for Earth? #betelgeuseexploded
