A nearby, bright supernova is the kind of event astronomers live for – but which few of us will ever get to see. We live in hope. Although Betelgeuse is a variable star, the great dimming in ...

This fiery demise is what astronomers call a supernova explosion, and in the case of Betelgeuse, it will be a spectacular sight for observers on Earth. Since the star is only 650 light-years from ...

This almost certainly isn't evidence of a bloated star on the literal brink of a supernova. The cold, hard truth is, it's unknown when Betelgeuse, at some 640 light-years away, will collapse into ...

If the conditions are right, the supernova leaves a serene stellar nebula in its wake. Our own Sun will go through this process in about 5 billion years, but Betelgeuse is much, much closer to its ...

It may already be dead. When Betelgeuse goes off as a supernova, it will be a sight to behold. Keep in mind that typical supernova can outshine entire galaxies of over a hundred billion stars.

A nearby, bright supernova is the kind of event astronomers live for – but which few of us will ever get to see. We live in hope. Although Betelgeuse is a variable star, the great dimming in ...

One of the biggest and brightest stars in the night sky will momentarily vanish as an asteroid passes in front of it to produce a one-of-a-kind eclipse. The event should be visible to millions of ...
