Neil Degrasse Just Announced A Terrifying Message About The Betelgeuse Supernova

Every star will one day run out of fuel in its core, and thus stop being a natural source of nuclear fusion in the universe. While stars like our sun fuse hydrogen into helium and then helium into carbon as they swell into red giants, other, more massive stars can reach high enough temperatures to further fuse carbon into even heavier elements. Under these extreme conditions, the star will swell into a red supergiant, eventually exploding as a supernova. And the brightest red supergiant in the entire night sky will be Betelgeuse, which can go supernova at any moment. The blazing red supergiant shining brilliantly in the night sky has captured humanity’s awe and attention for centuries. Scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson and other researchers have explored the potential implications of using the highly advanced James Webb Space Telescope, known for its enhanced capabilities and remarkable sensitivity, to uncover new insights about Betelgeuse. However, the recent periods of dimming and unanticipated beh
