Betelgeuse is About to EXPLODE!

In 1836, astronomer John Herschel was studying the universe through his telescope when he noticed something strange happening to a star called Betelgeuse. It was changing its behavior in a way that amazed him. As time went on, other astronomers also observed this star's strange behavior. Even people from ancient times noticed it too.

Betelgeuse: Identikit
Betelgeuse, a star in the Orion constellation, is a fascinating celestial object that captures the imagination of both astronomers and pop culture enthusiasts. What sets it apart from our Sun is its remarkable size and distinct characteristics.

Dimming Before the Explosion
In order to understand why and how a star like Betelgeuse ends its life going supernova, we need a pinch of stellar evolution theory. However, we will leave the tedious part to astronomers and we will focus on the explosive stuff!

The great dimming
The craziest thing happened in 2019. Betelgeuse went extremely dimmer than usual, and this of course alerted astronomers all over the world, for the exact reasons mentioned earlier. The event is now known as “the great dimming”.

New Study Results
As we already mentioned, stars like Betelgeuse are incredible celestial objects that fuse elements together in their core, creating new ones. This fusion process leads to variations in the star's brightness.
