An asteroid will briefly eclipse Betelgeuse, a bright star in the Orion constellation, causing it to disappear from view for those in a narrow strip of the globe.
As seen from Earth, Betelgeuse as a type II-P supernova would have a peak apparent magnitude somewhere in the range −8 to −12. [176] This would be easily visible in daylight, with a possible brightness up to a significant fraction of the full moon, though likely not exceeding it. This type of supernova would remain at roughly constant ...
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 suggest it is both smaller — and closer — than astronomers ...
This is a list of supernova candidates, or stars that are believed to soon become supernovae. ... Betelgeuse: 05 h 55 m 10.3 s +07° 24′ 25″ Orion ~400–500 [8 ...
One of the biggest and brightest stars in the night sky has left astronomers puzzled after it has faded dramatically over the last year. Some have speculated that this is a sign of an impending ...
The Crab Nebula is a pulsar wind nebula associated with the 1054 supernova.It is located about 6,500 light-years from the Earth. [1]A near-Earth supernova is an explosion resulting from the death of a star that occurs close enough to the Earth (roughly less than 10 to 300 parsecs (pc) [30 to 1000 light-years] away [2]) to have noticeable effects on Earth's biosphere.
Betelgeuse—the star and not the slimy, suit-wearing demon—is one of the most celebrated celestial objects in the night sky. Found in the constellation Orion, Betelgeuse is extremely bright ...
The Orion region showing the red supergiant Betelgeuse. Red supergiants are rare stars, but they are visible at great distance and are often variable so there are a number of well-known naked-eye examples: Antares A; Betelgeuse; Epsilon Pegasi; Zeta Cephei; Lambda Velorum; Eta Persei; 31 and 32 Cygni; Psi 1 Aurigae; 119 Tauri
