The supernova of Betelgeuse is the most anticipated celestial event. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star in Orion. Astronomers are regularly monitoring the star. A recent research paper has revealed that the star's surface is boiling, creating an illusion of rapid rotation.

Day 3,648 of people saying "Something weird is happening on Betelgeuse"
Well, given the lifetime of stars being millions or billions of years old. It's possible that the actual supernova won't happen in our lifetimes. Scientists are just hoping it does.
There is a chance the supernova already happened but the light hasn't reached earth
This guy doesn't understand galactic timescales
... but now back to the Phlegraean Fields! đ
@@heatherflaherty3360to be fair itâs a couple hundred light years away so it might take a couple hundred years
So technicaly Betelgeuse could already have gone supernova right now and we wouldnt even know until 400 500 years from now
Or it did it hundreds of years ago and we'll see it soon
millions of stars have gone supernova that we still see as stars. doesn't really matter about the distance and light speed, the only way we'll really know is when we can see it
â@@littlegirlblue9829I desperately hope that we will see it soon. I really want to see a Super Nova in my lifetime
Not necessarily. It may have already gone supernova and weâll see it soon meaning it went supernova 400-600 years ago.
634 years to be exact.

_"Can we study Betelgeuse using the James Webb telescope?"_
_"No. It's instruments are too sensitive for its intensity."_
[Hubble telescope] *_"Hey. ya guys know I ain't dead yet, right?"_*
Hubble should be "open sourced' to EVERYONE for $150/hr. I have a few "experiments" to conduct from here, as my workstation is now the same power as a 1993 SGI 10k "Infinite Reality" system , used to confab the first cable modems. But that was just a day job....
â@@htos1avyou must be joking đ
What's needed to study it, is a big mirror and sunglasses. Webb forgot his sunglasses. What would you expect from a NASA administrator?
It is being observed across many EM wavelengths, including the infrared. As a matter of fact, observations in the infrared during the dimming in 2019 (in the visible spectrum) remained steady, so the dimming wasnât in the infrared, just the visible light part of the spectrum. If I remember, Hubble does have some capability in observing in 5he near infrared.
Perhaps we need a spacecraft that points at Betelgeuse at all times, streaming data constantly?

indeed
Actually, Betelgeuse WAS boiling. It may even have gone nova already. As it's more than 650 light years away what we're seeing happened 650 years ago.
Actually...you sound like a absolute cringey douche trying to make a point everyone already knows
It hasn't. We aliens oftern pass it. đœ
I don't think super giants go Nova
@@nighthawk0077 no, but Supernova. Thats a difference.
Beetlejuice is a giant waste depository for toxic waste generated by the artificially created stars used to power the hyperloop slip stream gates to traverse the galaxy by exiting local space time and traveling outside the curvature of the 3rd dimension of our universe and local time flow is stopped while outside the confines of space time, in the foamy environment of the higs field where the multiverse can be observed and quantified, before you pop your gravity bubble and the graviton waves push you through the space time membrane , back into our own universe that we can exist in. Most universes in the multiverse lack the necessary constants and energy needed to support biological so called life. Were we to accidentally poke a hole into the wrong universe, we would evaporate into basic sub atomic particles and cease to exist. So if could give me a lift to Saturn, I can gather enough materials and deuterium from the wrings to build my own gravity slip stream to access the higs field and get back to my dimension hopefully without being pushed into the wrong universe again. I'm tired of the clown universe of evil and chaos. It was fun the first couple millennium, but its still the clown universe and I hate clowns. Get me the hell out of here. I also can make your interdimentional gravity drive operate more effectively and prevent accidental disentanglment and quantum evaporation and other types of interdimentional errors and potential fuckery that can cause unwanted non existence and cascading universal ripples and mergers with unstable universes like clown universe. So come pick me up, and then we can go back to the universe of order, harmony, and swarms of winged nympomaniac super model hookers and portable blow job maidens . You know , those hot chicks with no vocal chords and a desire to be naked every time they see a star ship land. Clown universe sucks and has none of the great stuff found in the orderly universe we were robbed from. Get me out of here
âBetelgeuse is Boilingâ is now the name of my new drone folk album
It all comes down to when Betelgeuse is producing iron. All stages of fusion release energy up to iron. Iron fusion absorbs energy and is the death of supergiant stars.
There might have been a collision with a planet sized object heavy in iron
If I remember correctly, the iron producing phase is so fast you would say it is the beginning of the supernova, not any kind of warning of one.
@@michaelbarnard8529 Each phase of fusion the amount of time in that phase is shortened by 1/2. The fusion phase of iron lasts less than a day.
I live in coastal mountains N/W of Monterey Bay, know for great stargazing. You can see Betelgeuse in a very defined pulse/ vibration seeming to change colors. Fascinating! â°đČđšâđŸđșđž
Yeah, what you are seeing is caused by the Earth's atmosphere.
@@macs787is right. What youâre seeing is the distortion from the earths atmosphere. Thatâs what they mean in the song Twinkie twinkle little star. The only telescope I know of that has software to compensate for the atmospheric distortion is the one in Hawaii. Could be more but thatâs the only one I know of.

I don't normally subscribe to these types of channels because they're always romancing, exaggerating and speculating. I just want to hear facts, and this video delivered
I can already see the headlines if it goes nova in the near future: âBetelgeuse breaks physicsâ, when really, we had no idea what would really happen to begin with. This is why we need to be careful about using the word âtheorizeâ, when colloquially we mean âspeculateâ or even âestimateâ. Whatever happens, I would bet that it will completely surprise the science community.
So... you're basically saying that we are detecting the death of a star by SNEWS SNEWS

Did someone genetically combine beetles with geese? I guess a type 5 could do that.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EXPLANATION
Back in November I recorded a super zoomed in video of Betelgeuse in an area with little to no light polution, in the video I acknowledge just how crazy bright it is and that it's flashing blue and red. You can even make out the bubbly effects in the video, I did not even think astronomers were studying Betelgeuse right now because the last thing NASA reported on it was that it dimmed significantly and went from being the 10th brightest star to the 20th something which was back in 2019, and now it's even brighter than it was when it was the 10th brightest star, so essentially I spotted and recorded Betelgeuse's bubbles AND the fact it got so much brighter - months before NASA even reported these things, and for that I am very proud of myself, as soon as I went inside home after making the recording, I tried as hard as I could to find any news about the stars current state but the latest studies on the star were in 2019 so I never was able to find any explanation...until now

Don't forget that any, so called events on betelgeuse, that we observe, happed 650 years ago
Right, so saying âsomething weird IS happeningâŠ..â sounds odd
This is true..were seeing light from along time ago. Example..they say there might be life on certain planets,..were that planet and star might be in it's time and space will be different from our perception..that's how far the space and time differ..which is then just a guess...
For me, the "now" is defined by my position in the universe.
It's a star. What happens to it that we see now could well take 650 years or much longer, with various phases. Remember that other stars are in more advanced states than Betelguese, like VY Canis Majoris.

It was pulsing a few months ago. I just happened to be watching on a clear night.
I totally saw that. Think it was early February. It was most definitely pulsing to the naked eye. I watched it for like 35 minutes convinced I was about to see a supernova lol.

Correction, something weird has happened on Betelgeuse.
Approximately 600 years ago.
I don't see the need to point out the speed of light when talking about distance objects like this. If we see a meteorite hit the moon, it's not really necessary to mention that it happened 12 seconds ago. There's literally no way of getting information faster than light
Don't see the need to point out the speed of light for every discussion about distant objects* I don't think it needs a correction, when we see it dim or something, that's when it dims, that's when it effects us.
No, because "when" depends upon where you are. Only the speed of light (causality) is constant, so the idea of simultaniety is meaningless over such distances.
Betelgeuse will certainly go Supernova soon.
But....remember this.....to a star "soon" could be 100 million years.
So don't bother sitting on your sun-lounger in the garden tonight staring at Betelgeuse .....hoping for, and waiting for the fireworks display.
Betelgeuse can't live for 100 million years. It's life expectancy is up in 100,000 years maximum. The star will have lived for 10 million years
Need.... more.... dots.... to..... look....... MYSTERIOUS.............
Anyone else stare at it for more than 30s, trying to will it to go?
All the time
In some cultures Betelgeus was a Hell dimension. When it explodes you could thonk of it as "the gates of Hell being thrown wide"
:0
nah, hell in our universe already exists and is much closer to Earth.
A certain evil twin of ours named Venus.
Surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead (800°F, 426°C)
a consistent state of dim dawn brightness because of the thick yellow sulphuric acid clouds blocking sunlight
almost no wind at all on the surface, meaning the heat thrives even more
thousands of volcanoes across the surface
its day lasts longer than its year
rains sulphuric acid, but because of the extreme surface temperature, it evaporates before even touching the ground
an atmospheric pressure almost 100Ă that of Earth's
no magnetosphere so it's in a constant state of bombardment from the sun's rays
if you were to step on that planet without a protective suit, you'd be crushed, scalded with every breath and badly burned all over, and would die of asphyxiation due to its atmosphere being made up of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulphuric acid, no oxygen. you'd be dead in seconds
Imagine being one of those who is living close to this star, oh dear.
Anything that we see happening to Betelgeuse now, actually happened 600 years ago.
*_"Betelgeuse Is Boiling"_* is my favorite Tennessee Williams play.
Tim Burton's viral marketing for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (Out on September 6) has started
When the fusion process begins making iron, the supernova happens in a few seconds as the fusion does not generate enough energy to support the mass. Gravity always wins.
main sequence stars with iron in them usually become a black hole. Betelgeuse is a supergiant, so this comment makes so much sense.

It's nearly impossible to detect Neutrinos from our own sun. Theory says they should be everywhere all the time but even then they are extraordinarily hard to detect. They tend to go right through just about everything including the detectors.
In a numbers game determined by the inverse square law .. detecting Neutrinos from our sun is extremely difficult making detecting them from light years away .. well .. impossible.

@@Taijitu527 We only have real data on just one sun. All the others, if any others exist at all, are just tiny streams of photons. Nothing real can be learned from them other than their frequency and direction of travel.

All it takes is basic physics. The only physical evidence we have from Betelgeuse is light, and not very much of it.
Astronomy describes the edge of the universe in more detail than Oceanographers describe the ocean floor. We have reams of data from the ocean floor but only a tiny portion has been explored. We have next to nothing from deep space.

Vogon so I can enjoy poetry in the native language.
What I find fascinating is that supernovas apparently happen in seconds, so regardless of the time it takes itâs light to actually get here, in our sky, it would also seem to visually change in seconds to our eyes as well, even if it happened long, long ago.
Maybe the mass ejection was so large that's what got it spinning.
It's deathbed,lol, maybe 500,000 years from now, these distances and time scales are so vast.
Please upload Astronomy events of May
Way back in the earlier days of personal computers (PCs), I found a program for the Atari that simulated motion by changing (rotating) colors on a water fall. This seems to be what is happening with Betelgeuse. With the convection of temperatures creating red-shifts/blue shifts, this has the same effect. (Basically what you had already said, but in a simpler, repeatable fashion.)
... it's been said already... it's an old new, around 640 years old ... it may not be there as we speak ...
Close up Images ? "Betelgeuse / Distance to Earth: 642.5 light years" Hmm . đ
Beetlefuice began to dim so it came to be known as the great dimming of Beetlejuice⊠and thatâs the best they got? Itâs no wonder they went into astronomy, marketing was just not their specialty.
when they say it happened at a particular time (jan for example), is that what is happening actually at that moment ... or did it happen x light-years ago and just reaching us in jan?
As far away as it is, it could have already gone supernova centuries ago, but we don't know it yet.
Let's hope it went Super Nova 649 years ago so that we can observe a Super Nova next year in our sky! Observing a Super Nova must be so cool!
Beautiful appraisal đ
High Five! đ
Thanks!
We've never observed a star forming. But they explode every 26 years on average. And we've observed that. So when someone says a star formed in a solar nebula. That's just an educated guess. Another interesting thing is if we count the exploded stars in our galaxy there are about 6000 years worth of dead stars.
Is it not possible for someone from my local council to "pop over" to Betelgeuse đ to find out what all the fuss is about !?.
Itâs very easy for stars to boil, in a near vacuum the boiling temperature is lowered. Try it with some water up in the mountains.
Since stars are made of mostly hydrogen, I use the water analogy.
The animation at 2:22 was interesting and I've never seen tat before. Was that a real simulation of what Betelgeuse is like?
Supernova simulation of the dust being thrown out.
Do we have any idea How long from (SNEWS) detecting neutrinos until we would witness visible supernova explosion? Seconds? Minutes? Hours? More?
Neutrinos would arrive a few milliseconds after the light from the supernova
Rotation is not measured in miles or kilometer per second, but in angular velocity, rpm or degrees per time. Only flatearthers measure in absolute speed.
You mean something already happened on Beetlejuice since it takes 650 years for us to see or detect it. It may have gone supernova yesterday but we wonât be alive to witness it.
im came here for new info about Betelgeuse.. it seems im still al the way up to date except for the rumor of supernovae. i already knew it was boiling from our perspective.. did it go supernova?
Thanks for the info that it can't be observe using JWST đ
What about the types of neutrinos being emitted now?
If the star explodes and Orion loses one shoulder, it would look like Pushpa.
Future after supernova. (Magantar) Possible depending on Magnetic Field strength.
Was finally explained by the theory....I didn't think theories proved anything!đ
Just tossing it out there but wouldnât it be entirely possible that the reason this star dims the way it does could be planets that are still rotating around it but inside itâs up layers? I mean when the sun expands and swallows all the inner rocky planets, itâs still a slow process and the planets would take a considerable amount of time to burn up. The planets would still want to orbit around it.
So if that were the case, then this dimming would be the same as if the planet were outside of it. What we might be seeing are cores of this starâs planets that are still orbiting the star. They are just orbiting the star within its outer layers and when they get on the side facing earth it cause the star to dim.
The rotation could be effected by the remnant of a large body (planet or star remnant) continuing to be consumed, inside of the corona.đ€·đ»ââïž
It needs to pop already, i wanna see a supernova before I die
I heard if you say Betelgeuse: not beetlejuice, three times. our star/sun will rapidly grow in mass and go supernova. I wouldn't try it because I like the warmth we have right now, not radioactive microwaving of our planet
Our planet is spinning faster by 1 sec/ year now. Is there a correlation between the two celestial bodies undergoing similar changes at the same time?
probably not
The models of supernova's show that a star has to go through this boiling bubbling process first before it can explode. The models just don't work to produce a supernova without this happening. Doesn't mean the models are right but that is what they show. There is still a very small risk of a gamma ray burst from a Betelgeuse supernova despite being 650 light years away. It is almost certainly not big enough to produce a gamma ray burst and its explosion poles would have to be pointed directly at Earth but there is still a one in a billion risk. You would have to be in a concrete type basement for a few hours to escape this risk and everyone in your hemisphere would be dead on the streets anyway if it happened and there would be no electronic equipment left intact (including your car and your phone and electricity) so don't worry about it. You don't want to live through a gamma ray burst.
If a gamma ray dangerous enough to kill everyone on a hemisphere hit earth, being in a basement wouldn't save you. Gamma radiation is very persistent, and also if it were such a high amount of gamma radiation it would fry the ozone layer, in which case i'd advise you to stay miles underground for centuries until the ozone layer might have recovered.

You certainly will be able to see it with the naked eye. Itâs already one of the brightest stars in the sky. When it goes supernova, it will be so bright, youâll be able to see it during the day for probably a few weeks. At night, it will be as bright as the moon.
Given the size solar flares .it's core has had time to age which will mean trillion s of tons of high grade gold
You MEANT to say "something weird was happening to Betelgeuse 642 years ago, (it's 642.5 lights years away so we're watching what Betelgeuse was doing in the year 1382; it may have exploded a century ago, we just can't know yet).
So the super powerful telescopes in 1382 should have noticed it. Dang slackers of 1382.
It doesnât matter how far away it is⊠what matters is what the light that is reaching us shows.
Youâre nitpicking
maybe went nova hundreds of years ago đ
so what?
may be we'll see the explosion TOMORROW
I swear, for days, I both blather about Beetlejuice myself and audibly. đ
You should write that 'sentence' down somewhere and read it again in 20 years to see how stupid you were.
Is it entirely possisble that a star could be trapped within a star? I've pondered the the notion for some time now, especially when it comes to the odd behavour of Betelgeuse.
People debating if it's about to die when it could be already doing supernova right now and we don't know it yet. Until the light register arrives to our neighborhood in a few years.
I don't understand why people don't realise that it's in all probability part of the lifecycle of a red giant star, this is why it's dimming and brightening. Like the sun at the centre of the solar system. If anything it needs to be studied and recorded so that we can expand our knowledge of the cosmos.

Is there a star that ISN'T "boiling"?
Once a star stops boiling, it collapses in on itself and stops being a star
My dad has dementia and calls me constantly telling me betelguese is about to explode. He finds stupid shit like this and doesn't know any better.
so..can our star shot out dust like that sometimes? is that how planets are really formed?
Iâm now saying itâs due to aliens, but itâs due to aliens.
Wait couldn't the Chandra telescope be used to measure its changes?
Betelgeuse is 548 light years from us. Who knows how long ago itâs been boiling since itâs that far away. I mean we see light from galaxies that took millions of years to get to where we can see it. Iâm not worried about Betelgeuse.
Beetlejuice is more fun to say and most people are more interested because of it.
De ster draait sneller omdat ze groter wordt en onder invloed van de nabijheid van de andere planeten gaat ze meer graviteit maken en aldus veel sneller draaien.
How does getting closer to planets accelerate a stars rotation? Rotation impulse is maintained throughout its entire existance, and actually, the bigger an object, the slower it rotates with the same rotation impulse.

Ok, Betelgeuse travels thru the cosmos, would it not collide with other bodies as it travels... Would this suit up it's spinning momentum?
Space is way too big. The chance of Betelgeuse hitting something is miniscule. Just a comparison: the distance between the sun and Proxima Centauri is about 28.000 times the diameter of Betelgeuse.
have they calculated the distance of betel with trigonometry?
Yes. The Hipparchos satellite (using the width..the diameter.. of earth's orbit around the sun as a baseline) placed Betelgeuse at a distance of about 724 light-years, or, more accurately, between 613 and 881 light-years, when data uncertainties are included.
