Update
Betelgeuse continues to dim, and is now 20% dimmer than it was when I made this thread

https://spaceweatherarchive.com
Quote:
Astronomers have long known that Betelgeuse is on the precipice of an energy crisis. It’s about to run out of fuel in its core. When that happens, the star will collapse and rebound explosively, producing the first bright supernova in the Milky Way since 1604. Experts in stellar evolution believe Betelgeuse could die at any time during the next 100,000 years or so–a blink of an eye on time scales of astronomy.
Does the current dimming herald that final blast? Probably not. Betelgeuse is a slowly variable star, and this is probably no more than an episode of deeper-than-usual dimming. Of course, one day astronomers will think the same thing … and then the night sky will change forever.
Stay tuned for updates.

I hope it blows up like really, really soon. I would be fine with tonight.
It’s a head trip to think it may already have blown up.

You can’t see it in the summer.
I guess if it exploded you would be able to see it, but it would be only visible during the day.

Oh shit, forgot about how seasons affect star observing by rotation of the Earth, or however it works. Beginning of Spring?

The supernova would be visible. It’s fairly close to the plane of the solar system, so there is a time in June when it is almost directly behind the sun, but they say the supernova would be visible even then.

I wonder how big it could be. Like would the explosion extend all the way out to Bellatrix?
