Betelgeuse, the bright red star in the constellation Orion, has captivated astronomers with its unpredictable dimming events, sparking speculation about an impending supernova. This aging giant provides clues to how massive stars end their lives. From massive ejections of stellar material to simulations of what Betelgeuse's supernova might look like from Earth, we'll uncover the science behind one of the most talked-about stars in the sky.
