One of the most anticipated astronomical events is the #betelgeuse supernova. Located on Orion's famous shoulder, Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star near the end of its life. Strangely, in late 2019, Betelgeuse, one of the brightest stars in the sky, began to fade.

The discoloration was so visible that it could be seen even without special optics. For a few months, Betelgeuse faded until observers began to wonder if the star was dead. When scientists focused their most powerful telescopes on the red giant star, they were shocked to see strong dimming, even though the star's brightness returned to normal after a few months.

This star is about to explode as its life cycle comes to an end. When and why could a #supernova occur, and will it have disastrous consequences for Earth?
