Astronomers have spotted signs that Betelgeuse, the closest supergiant star to Earth, could be about to explode as a ...

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

Understanding what’s causing Betelgeuse’s pulsations could also help predict when the star might explode. Astronomers gauge a ...

The nearby T Coronae Borealis system could still explode any day now, but calculations suggest the next best chance for fireworks is later this year.

So even if Betelgeuse were to explode into an uncontrollable nuclear bomb with enough energy to overwhelm the brightness of all the stars in our galaxy, it would not have much of an impact on Earth.

Betelgeuse will eventually explode as ... One of the biggest and brightest stars in the night sky will momentarily vanish as an asteroid passes in front of it to produce a one-of-a-kind eclipse.

But it's not going to hurt us. Betelgeuse is the shoulder of Orion, a red giant sitting about 500 light years away. It's huge, weighing somewhere between 15 and 20 solar masses, but is so extended ...

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.

Well it's a bit of a good news/bad news situation on that front. It's impossible to predict exactly when the star will explode, however, scientists predict Betelgeuse will enter into a supernova ...
