Learn about Betelgeuse, the bright red supergiant star at Orion’s left shoulder. It’s bright only because of its huge size, some 80X the size of the Sun, but it’s a relatively cool star. Betelgeuse is predicted to go supernova in the near future in astronomical time scales, but could be anytime in the next 100,000 years.
