In late 2019 the red supergiant closest to Earth, Betelgeuse, began to rapidly fade in brightness. Initially thought to be a sign that the star was about to go supernova or that it experienced a dust ...

This figure shows measurements of Betelgeuse's brightness from different observatories from late 2018 to present. The blue and green points represent data from ground-based observatories.

there were many theories about why Betelgeuse was suddenly losing its shine. The most prominent one of them all was that the ageing star was getting ready to go supernova — a massive explosion ...
