Go Betelgeuse!! You can do it!!
Ah yes, go betelgeuse, you can die.
The planet closest to it (hypothetically) No Betelgeuse!! Don't do it!! 😂
@@Sl4sher_io Who said anything about us? Im pretty sure we're not in the same solar system 😅😂
@@flopyman1996 Yeah need to pump some serious Pepto-Bismol for the poor old girl.
Maybe it went supernova 500 years ago. We didn't receive the light yet.
Exactly
Excellent observation
Obviously. All astronomy is history, most of it ancient history, some of it very ancient history.
Anyone who’s interested in the universe understands that. What we see now is the light that left Betelgeuse 580 years ago. But, if you think about it, it hardly matters from our perspective. When it does go supernova, it will be when the light reaches us, as far as we’re concerned.

The distance of Betelgeuse was recently revised with new measurements to about 580 light years.

Excellent observation, Phill.
Ok, thank you, Sheldon!
@@xptechmikie It was indeed good info since I only knew it was between 400 and 750 lol.
@@TheScandoman Sheldon: you are quite welcome…since I know you do not readily have the most current astronomical data, I feel it’s a public service that I provide it🤓
Great upload. Thank you.
Today : a stars about to go super nova
450 billion years later : boom
nope, Betelgeuse will hurry. shy of 10 million years of age and already in its death throes
Woooow, the music is nice at the end of video as well as all the interesting and fascinating content of the video. Thanks a lot and a big hug to you!!
I believe it’s already gone supernova and what we are seeing now is the beginning of the end. We really have no way to know what stage of it life it’s in right now.
Say its name three times and it will appear in the sky right next to our own Sun..
"Beetle Juice, Beddle Juss, Battle Goose..." damn, it's not working..
YEAH.. You can do it. !!!
@@xptechmikie If I'm not mistaken, you also have to clap your hands while you chant its name.
Two animals meet in the forest.
"What kind of animal are you? Don't think I ever saw anything like you."
"I am a wolfhound!"
"What's that?"
"Well my father was a wolf and my mother was a dog."
"Interesting, never heard of that."
"And what are you?"
"I'm a beetlegoose!"
"What? Now you're kidding me, right?"
The angular distance between betelgeuse and the sun is at the present about 16 degrees. I live on the northern hemisphere, so I actually can't observe betelgeuse from here. Observation is only possible from the southern hemisphere now. But even from there it is a little difficult, as for example in Windhoek betelgeuse can only be observed in the evening for a short time after sunset, and at low distance from the horizon, when the sky is not completely dark. Estimating its brightness by comparing to other stars not easy to come to reliable values.
How did you detect the increase of its brightness?
Remember that Betelgeuse is approximately 724 light-years away from Earth, according to EarthSky. However, recent research suggests that it is closer to 548 light-years, 25% closer than previously thought. On that scale, Betalgeuse may have already gone Nova and we won't see the evidence for several hundred years, until the light from the explosion reaches Earth.
That is just so cool!
I’m @@nsbd90now
It is still not xure to see and to know if Betelgeuse realy has already gone supernova . Scientists are still unsure !
By the time the light of this nova hits Earth, our own star will have nova'd & reset itself. These bozos at NASA are paid to lie.
@@loloholmes2793
No. We have about five billion years before the Sun expands and engulfs the Earth. However, Mankind will likely be extinguished by the long term, natural climate changes the occur on our planet. It varies between the Earth being almost covered in ice to ice free polar regions. The weather (Climate) is excellent for humans to thrive currently.
@phill m156
This is interesting to me, can you tell the information origin (source) of the betelgeuze distance measurement?
Just think how amazing it will be to watch our sun go Supernova, oh wait!
This is so exciting! I sure hope it explodes while I'm alive to see it! Remember first noticing it when I was a little kid... and wondering if it was a UFO. lol!
Well written.
I've seen it in the cloudless night sky last month ...along with strange crimson electro waves.
Wow!
Realy I like this video its so interestyng
go betelgeuse we will miss you🙁
Soooooooooper 🥳👍
stars lifecycle..... billions of years so it still might take millions of years to go nova.
Not all our the same, George. Big stars, like our mate, burn through their fuel real fast to stay 'upright'. Betelgeuse, for example, is just a few million years old, while our sun is 4.5 billion. Red dwarves burn for ... wait for it.... TRILLIONS of years. Not one has died yet through lack of fuel.
And just think, an entire human lifetime is barely 3 billion seconds, if you're lucky.
I hope so-If Betelguese goes the nuetrino flux we will get is going to destabilize orbits-pretty sure nuetrinos supress/dampen gravity. In abscence of a nuetrino flux from a luminous body gravitys actual strength is realized, heavier nuetrino flux will weaken gravity. Dark matter is evidence of this.
@@shawnsvancara5406 Neutrinos are massless particles that travel at the speed of light. They have no electric charge and pass completely through other matter. If neutrinos hit a light year long piece of lead half of them would still get through.
@@nuntana2 maybe we could tap into tbat fuel for our cars, get the old bills down a bit.
We need to have JWST look at this.
I really Want to see Betelgeuse Star explosion can i see IT with only naked eyes? 🌌
Well, yes, if it happens in our lifetime, he did say that, start at the 5:35 mark, he tells how it could/will be! ☺
@@coralie9469 nice ☺️
This will be a major sky event
Allegedly it will be visible in broad daylight
You can see the star at night with naked eyes. If it gets brighter you'll be able to see it even better.
Weeks ago, I said this was Betelgeuse throwing off another dust cloud. No one believed me. There will be others thrown off before it goes nova.😊
Is the article that says it could be exhausting carbon in the process of being peer reviewed or will it never be peer reviewed?
It inspired someone to make a ghost movie out of it. One of favorite movies my moms to.
In what relationship/distance does Betelgeuse have to Tabetha?… and what about using JWST?
Hope I see it 😮
Hopefully our view of the explosion coincides with the release of the Beetlejuice 2 film, for a good cross-promotion.
I already feel sorry for Zaphod Beeblebrox and Ford Prefect (or whatever his Betelgeusian name is): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaphod_Beeblebrox
*The newly corrected distance of Betelgeuse to earth is 548 light years. There are many incorrect values posted including some in excess of 700 light years away. How this can go unchallenged is beyond me, but You should have been aware of this finding as it was made in 10/16/2020. The determination was made using the Solar Mass Ejection Imager which also fined tuned the star as being 764 Solar Radii, and having a mass between 16.5 and 18 Solar Masses.*
i heard estimates of just 50 light years but they are afraid to tell us because it will annihilate all life on earth.
Dr. Joyce's study has not yet been widely accepted.
And now you accept this as fact? Funny how you all believe something to be the truth, until you discover it's wrong.

Getting ready to blow sometime.
Considering the distance from us. She might have already Super Nova'd. Hope to see it before I die. Be something would'nt it??
This happened hundreds of years ago, we are are just seeing it !! They supernova all the times !!
Will Orion be able the shoulder the burden of a nova?
Orion will miss his collar bone :p
Signs and wonders
what if the night sky change (luminosity?) would affect life on earth? possible?
Something really really exciting is going to happen the only small problem it could be tomorrow or in 75,000 years
New studies say the star will likely go super nova within the next hundred years or less here’s to hoping it goes supernova at night
Wonder if, for some reason, instead of blowing up, it becomes a quasar or black hole. Would we still be far enough to not cause havoc?
Yes. It will have to be within 100lys
@@heraqureshi light years
"About to die". On a cosmic time scale its millions of Earth years.
Narrator sounds like Tuvok (Tim Russ) from Star Trek Voyager.
Betelgeuse is acting strange something we haven,t seen before. This star is millions of years old we have been looking at the cosmos for 200 years I bet there is a lot we haven't seen before
If it absorbed a Jupiter size planet as its expands it may well have left an enormous debris field as well a top up of hydrogen to fuse
Even a Jupiter sized planet would be like peddle is to Earth for Betelgeuse. Betelgeuse is HUGE!
The statement "Betelgeuse is a very old star" (4:20) must appear as misleading. Betelgeuse is a very _young_ star, just c. 10 million years old - compare this to the age of over four and a half _billion_ years of the Sun! Betelgeuse is in a very _late stage of stellar development._
Seems intelligent extraterrestrials might have detected us from afar. From such a distance that it's their mistaken belief that Earthling main long distance radio communication is still by Morse code. It's their test to see if Betelgeuse can be utilised to Morse code a reply.
they say by July or Just after we will see it
So, it means if that happen the orion hunter is no more ?
May be same as our Sun , giving us excess heat, increased brightness. First time , all ice melt , probably. But if it’s out of influence of what it passed through, like our Sun. We are cooking crust from within. Ice melt and rivers drying up, and methane from the once Perma frozen past vegetation. Our next , hope, we get out of the influence of the excess energy. We hope, soon.
The light reaching us from Betelgeuse will be just a little brighter than the full moon. Since the full moon doesn't do any of the things you mentioned you can rest assured that Betelgeuse won't be able to either.
Question will this event be seen in Southern skies l live in New Zealand
No. It won't happen for millions of years, so no-one will see it. Humans will be long gone.
It's in the constellation Orion
So If you can see Orion you can see Betelgeuse
Yes. The Southern Hemisphere points toward the galactic center.
beetle juice
Stars don't explode or die any of ways most people believe,,,it go back to regular size eventually... however stars can grow some smaller depending on the outermost fields bands...
i wonder what happens to the orion constellation when Betelgeuse blows up.
If all "Dust" that it belched out was falling back in, would that make it bright?
I wouldn't think so. But the dust could be reflecting the star's light from around it.
No dust blocks all light except long wave lengths like red. The ejected dust doesn't fall back either. It continues away at the speed that allowed it to be ejected. Some energy is transferred in particle collisions but that just slows down some and speeds up others.
What's the name of this star again? They didn't say it often enough in the video I think, and I must have forgotten it!
What also fluctuates is the pronunciation of the stars name, three different in this 8 minute video.
So what are we seeing time wise when looking at Betelgeuse? When was the light we are seeing produced in earths time? 1920? 1500AD? 1000BC? Anyone?
It's about 600 light years away so we're seeing it as it was about 600 years ago!
@@phatphat7089 so Betelgeuse could have went supernova say 200 years ago and we haven’t seen it yet? Hmmmm, interesting. I understand it could also be a hundred thousand years or more before that happens as well. Thanks for the timeline.
@@christopherc4814 Yes and only massless particles like photons of light and neutrinos travel at the speed of light. Any particles like protons or electrons can travel at best 10% of the speed of light and will arrive a little less than 6,000 years after we see the explosion.
It’s soo far away that we wouldn’t know if it already went supernova for thousands of years
642 light years. So what we are seeing is from 642 years ago not from thousands of years ago.
@@soaringeagle5418 correction made! It’s soo far away that it could have already went supernova but we wouldn’t know about it for long time =642 years. Is that better?
At 6:20; I had a idea, after Betelgeuse goes supernova it's name should be changed to the "hairy armpit" (whatever that is in Arabic?). ;-D
What if it turns into a black hole ? Would that affect our solar system or even the structure of our galaxy ?
No too small and too far away
Maybe it's the "Attack ships on fire, off the shoulder of Orion!" (just, sayin...)
Pick a pronunciation of Betelgeuse and stick with it.
do we need to send out our cultural attache to confirm this aggravating behaviours ?
Many People understand and told this in all Scripts , He Transforms not only Explode
will go when it goes. possibly already did, however we won't see it for long time, unless it went 500 years ago. even light speed is slow compared to the whole universe.
0:12 Red Supergiant not Red Giant
These fluctuations happened 700 years ago { approx the year 1300 } -Human timeframe
Are you pronouncing it differently each time on purpose?
*Astronauts say that Betelgeuse Will go supernova, in About 10,000 to 100,000 Years.*
Almost Home, Netchate!👋🏼😁☝🏼⏰✈️👑👰🏻❤️🕊️
Except, Betegeuse isn't 700 light years away from us, it's more like 500
So let me guess. A huge gas-cloud got caught in its path dimming it, and now it's burning @ 150%.
I would love to see it explode in my lifetime what a spectacle that would be. Hopefully the gamma ray burst will be focused away from earth.
the axis aims elsewhere fortunately :)
Well whatever happened happened four hundred years ago so we would have known by now if it was going to affect us
So why don’t NASA have the James Webb telescope take a look at it ? With its ultraviolet camera it could see it better ???
The speaker must chose one pronunciation of this star, I think. So, [ˈbiːtldʒəːzl] or [ˈbetldʒəːz]?
Betelgeuse has already exploded. But because of the vast distance it is away and the speed of light travel, particle travel speed, we haven’t seen any of it…yet. We don’t have the neutrino emissions to confirm supernova is eminent or it was getting ready to stellar explode. Nor do we have any the actual evidence of its resulting explosion after. Time and maybe up to a few hundreds of years still need for time to pass from our vantage point as an observer. All we are observing for first time in history with instrument data based on the light we can observe, Betelgeuse before it’s eventual demise. We are just seeing the telltale signs of its demise.
Why is everyone overlooking an obvious, but not so simple solution...
Remember the Shoemaker-Levy collision(s) with Jupiter?
'Spots' of disruptons lasted for months; multiply by a million, or so, and you might understand the great red spot!
A significantly massive body, on a semi-direct trajectory impacting Betelgeuse would be accelerated to incredible speeds, and create quite a splash!
However, intially, its disruption of Betelgeuse's photosphere could easily cause a significant dimming!
Or pethaps a more massive body on more of an orbital decay path could also result in similar variations, with different time sequences...
Unfortunately, I am not well-versed in the calculus required to analyze such celestial mechanics.
distance between 430 and 640 light years........ so It might have exploded already but we'll have to wait for the light to come....
Whatever Betelgeuse has done to itself it occurred ~ 700 years ago our time.
Betelgeuse is not currently visible from any of our telescopes on the ground or in space. It is too close in the sky to the Sun for viewing.
lol
4:20
Betelgeuse is a very old star...
5:21
Astronomers estimate that Betelgeuse is 8 to 8.5 million years old which is very young for a star...
It's just some attack ships on fire
The narrator pronounced Betelgeuse about 5 different ways.
I found myself focusing more on that, ha.
💣💣💣💣💥💥💥💥💥EXPLODE💥🌌💥🌌🌌💣
is this channel created with chatGPT. that voice sounds computer generated.
Variation on gravity. Easy! Just put James Webb telescope watching what is around.
If any supernova by Betelgeuse shows up now, we won't see it where I'm at. Orion rises during later autumn here.
Betelgeuse... 40.000 years ago was still in the main sequence and class O. 3000 years ago was a yellow giant. Got red just in 300 years, according to past observations. And now is already dying. Was maybe O3 or something to consuming it's fuel in so short time?
Quite right. To be honest, I don't understand all the fuss about the subject. Betelgeuse can also return to the main sequence after the strong mass ejections, which means a hypernova only in 1.0 to 1.5 million years. He's only been a red giant for far too short a time. MfG Hans..
Beetlejuice, Baiteljuice, Battlejuice....The bigger mystery here is if the cg narrator figures out which pronunciation to stick to.
Betelgeuse! Betelgeuse! Betelgeuse!
Can we send a space ship or satellite close to the star to get more pictures , ?
no it would take thousands of years to get there, events would overtake it, it could not carry enough battery to stay working for that long, we could not detect it at that distance from amid the star's emissions, and anyway would be in a 500 year time lag for anything we got back.
to be fare it could have already gone super nova, if it go's super nova today the light from the event wont reach us for 430 years. so what we are seeing happened 430 years ago
Interesting, but like everything else with astronomy, of absolutely no consequence to us living on earth.
Is it inside the glass dome or outside
Betelgeuse is 640 light away it has already exploded, we are just waiting for the explosion to reach us.
I can't wait to see it in 2501.🤣😂
