This red giant star will, one day, explode as a supernova. Betelgeuse is one of the best-known stars in the night sky, as well as the easiest to find. New examinations of this behemoth star ...
Betelgeuse has entered an uncommon period of brightening again, this time rising in brightness by around 50 percent. Is the star about to go supernova?
By January 2020, Betelgeuse had dimmed by a factor of approximately 2.5 from magnitude 0.5 to 1.5 and was reported still fainter in February in The Astronomer's Telegram at a record minimum of +1.614, noting that the star is currently the "least luminous and coolest" in the 25 years of their studies and also calculating a decrease in radius.

The last supernova directly observed in the Milky Way was Kepler's Supernova in 1604, appearing not long after Tycho's Supernova in 1572, both of which were visible to the naked eye. The remnants of more recent supernovae have been found, and observations of supernovae in other galaxies suggest they occur in the Milky Way on average about three ...
Damian Lillard is the only one going supernova these days. The Hubble Space Telescope revealed why nearby red giant star Betelgeuse became surprisingly dim late last year, according to a new study.
The fourth season premiered on July 14, 2015, as part of the Science Channel's "Space Week," in honor of New Horizons' flyby of Pluto that day; the season ran through September 1, 2015. The show's fifth season aired from November 22, 2016, through February 7, 2017. The sixth season premiered on January 9, 2018, and ran through March 13, 2018.
The dimming of Betelgeuse seen at the end of 2019 and the start of 2020 explained — the red giant star “sneezed.” Betelgeuse dimmed in the final few months of 2019, perplexing both ...
