When Will Betelgeuse Explode?
<p>One day, they say, Betelgeuse will explode. It promises to be spectacular: the star will detonate with the force of ten million suns; burning bright enough to be visible across half the known universe. From Earth it will appear to glow more intensely than the full moon; luminous enough to cast shadows at night and to shine through the midday sunlight.</p>
<p>Such things, of course, have happened before. Roughly twice a century, <a href="https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Integral/Integral_identifies_supernova_rate_for_Milky_Way" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">astronomers calculate</a>, a star explodes somewhere in our galaxy. Yet most do so far away, and so their light is obscured by clouds of dust and gas, rendering them invisible to the human eye. Historical records speak of just four visible supernovae in the past millennium, <a href="https://www.space.com/20670-johannes-kepler-supernova-white-dwarf.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">the last of which erupted in 1604</a>.</p>
