BETELGEUSE

 

    I like searching about the universe. Today I am going to write about a topic about it...but for guys who are not interested in the universe, it may be sleepy... If you are having trouble sleeping, please take a look. lol

    Do you know BETELGEUSE? It is a huge red star far from the earth. It is located on the shoulder of Orion. The distance from the earth is about 620 light-years, and the size is 1000 times that of the sun! We cannot even imagine, can you? -----It is said such Betelgeuse may soon cause a huge explosion! To be surprised, after the explosion, it seems to shine up 100 times as bright as the full moon from the earth. It's so bright that you can see the light clearly even in the daytime for three months after the explosion. It will be a little difficult to sleep at night. 

    The reason why Betelgeuse is said to explode soon is that it is nearing the end of its life. Every star with a mass more than eight times that of the Sun causes a huge explosion called "a supernova explosion" at the end of its life. And, Betelgeuse dimmed sharply from the end of 2019 to around February 2020. It was said that this might be a precursor to a supernova explosion.

    However, the brightness of it has since returned to normal. It was just a cloud of dust blocked the light of it...

According to one theory, it will take 100,000 years for it to explode, but...I really want to see it while I am alive!
