This Star Is About To Explode!

One of the most famous stars we can see, Betelgeuse, is set to go supernova extremely soon and when it does it will shine as bright as the full moon in our sky and you will even be able to see it during the day!

This video was re-uploaded because of an age restriction issue, sorry everyone!

Ok but imagine what it would actually look like in the sky…. Beautiful.

It’s crazy to think that we’re seeing that star as it was in the year 1373. Who knows if we’ll see its supernova in our lifetime though? Would be incredible if we do.

[NickErickson]

If it is 650 light years away, and it will apparently go supernova in a few decades, hasn’t it technically already gone supernova? We will just be waiting to see the light from that event.

Just wanted to say, I absolutely love your videos Kobi. You are the main reason I’m actually interested in space, and I dream to be an astronomer when I get older. When I see that you upload a video I always click on it, whether it’s a short or long from video. So I just wanted to say; thank you Kobi.

It's amazing to look up at the night sky and seeing stars knowing they're huge but appear small, and everything is moving very fast but appears still because of how ridiculously big the universe is

This man is single-handedly given me a passion for space

[argentummolonlabe]

Crazy to think if we see the star pop, it actually went supernova 650 years ago.

[KreepyRecords]

Incredible stuff happening. Can't wait for more space exploration through this next coming decade

[swananddeshpandeofficial]

Great video @AstroKobi. What's even more amazing is the fact that it is 650 light years away. So if we are going to see it in our lifetime, then it has already gone supernova, a few hundred years ago 😊

I will miss Betelgeuse once it is gone since Orion is such an iconic constellation and it is so easy to find in the night sky.

These type of videos give me chills. Not in a bad but rather a good way. It's so entertaining.

[Sonic_Egg]

i’ve been more excited about the supernova of Betelgeuse than any other astronomical event, cannot wait to see it glow! great video Kobi

[yasithaherath]

we need more long video contents like this your voice is soothing to hear and content is super educational and entertaining this is a channel I can watch all day long.

[Milkomeda_Galaxy]

I love his work, and that he also makes shorts for us that are not just cutted out of the video. He puts so much effort into these videos, I have nothing to say instead of thanking him❤

[anshumanawasthi]

I was waiting for this since long time. Thank you so much Astrokobi ❤

[x-celsius]

I really hope we get to see it happen! I love observing the stars, and that would just be incredible. You'd get to tell future generations that you saw a star explode. How cool does that sound?

[Warhorse]

For 37 years, I have gazed at the stars, and Betelgeuse has always shone brightly. It's somewhat disheartening to think that someday it will vanish.

[EasterEggGaming]

I wish I could see something truly real happening in front of my eyes
This is everyone's chance to see something that will be remembered even after thousands of years, So I would definitely wish to be a part of it

[genkestrel]

You're so great to listen to!! Your nature and tone is perfect. I enjoy the animations and cool, slightly haunting atmospheric music you select also :)
