Whatever it's doing happened 640 years ago.

Can't wait for it, Go Betelgeuse you can do it... Make it happen before I die😅

James Webb telescope is now in operation for the past year. I wonder what it sees from this star

[winfordnettles]

When plasma convection within the star becomes unstable enough, and, when it runs out of hydrogen and helium fuel, it will not be long before a gravitational collapse occurs. This may be what we are watching just about now. The last death throws of this supergiant red star.

Everybody: Betelgeuse Exploded!
NASA: Nah, it just rotates very fast for reasons... we can't explain.

What we’re seeing is what occurred at the same time that EDWARD III was rampaging through France with away wins at Poitiers and Crecy

Did the nasa guy say he's ready to defend earth from supernova?

[angryhedgehoglee]

It's over 600 light years away. When we finally see it it, of course, it will have already exploded over 600 years before the first light of this nova hit our eyes.

[ManOfMonism]

Considering it's about 724 lightyears away, it already did go supernova. The light hasn't reached us yet.

[mytapster]

Lol !!! NASA is prepared to protect us for anything coming from outside our universe 😂😂

[capitalist_bean]

Born to late to explore the earth, born too early to explore the stars, but probably born just at the right time to see a star blow it’s top off.

[dongordon]

I tend to believe that it has gone supernova - the light has not reached us yet.

[justinforgette]

Its not bursting... It already burst... 600 years ago.

[carpediemarts]

Would be especially cool if B blew during the eclipse when everyone is outside looking.
I don't think it will, but it would be cool.

[craigpierce]

"Protect us" from the universe? Are you kidding? NASA can't even remember what it did in the sixties! Never A Straight Answer comes through, again...🙄

[benwearne]

Betagoose? Baytaljuice? Betaljews? Beetlejuice?

[boris]

Forget beatle juice - wish I could live in my favourite town.

[paladin]

Before the movie this star's name was pronounced: Bait-el-gase.

[daviddiscenza]

How can it be too late to understand what's happening to Betelguese?
