Betelgeuse - The Star on the Brink of a Supernova

[@MindFull-101]

Hey everyone! 👋 I just realized there are a few spots in the video where the audio cuts out. Apologies for this oversight! I'll work on fixing it for future videos. Thanks for your understanding and support! If you have any questions or need clarification on anything, feel free to leave a comment below!

At first, it was weird, but it wasn't so annoying thanks to the subtitles 😄

[@MindFull-101]

Subtitles FTW!

It's fascinating that Betelgeuse is 700 times the size of our Sun, yet its mass is only about 15 times greater!✨✨

[@MindFull-101]

Absolutely, it is fascinating! Betelgeuse's large size relative to its mass is a result of its advanced stage as a red supergiant. As it evolves, its outer layers expand significantly, even though its mass doesn’t increase proportionally. This makes it a great example of how stars change as they near the end of their life cycle. Thanks for pointing that out! ✨ If you have more questions or interesting observations, feel free to share!

If only we knew the timing of this marvelous celestial event. Many of us are eagerly anticipating witnessing it. 😊

[@MindFull-101]

I know, right? It would be amazing to have a precise timeline for such a grand event. While we can’t pinpoint the exact moment Betelgeuse will go supernova, it’s thrilling to think that it could happen anytime within the next 100,000 years. The anticipation makes it all the more exciting! 😊

[@Csika92]

1:50 Betelgeuse is no longer fusing hydrogen in its core now. It's at least moved onto Helium, and a recent study suggests it's nearly completed carbon and will move onto neon.

[@MindFull-101]

Thanks for the correction! You're right, Betelgeuse is no longer fusing hydrogen in its core. I appreciate the update! :)

[@Anni-kl8ys]

It would be so cool if this happened in our lifetime.

[@MindFull-101]

Absolutely, it would be incredible to witness such a spectacular event!

[@foxboat4640]

"Just" 10 million years old 😃

[@MindFull-101]

A mere blink in the cosmic eye!😄

[@boke75]

Might’ve already happened in realtime but will take hundreds of years to reach our skies.

[@MindFull-101]

Exactly! It’s entirely possible that Betelgeuse has already gone supernova. The vast distances in space make for some fascinating scenarios! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@zepion1509]

OK so, I was initially hooked. Up until the point where you started speaking of "Beetle Juice" 😄

[@MindFull-101]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😄 "Beetlejuice" is actually a common pronunciation for Betelgeuse, but I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching!

Audio is bugged along the video

[@MindFull-101]

Thank you for pointing that out! I noticed the audio issues as well. Apologies for the inconvenience, and I'll make sure to fix it in future videos. Appreciate your understanding and support!

[@SlideRSB]

Interesting. I assumed some things were censored.

[@MindFull-101]

The song is copyright-free, and there wasn’t any swearing in those parts. It might be a bug. Thanks for the feedback!

[@Kikioyo12]

Thanks for not sharing false information like "it's too late for us" or "it just went supernova" 😅

Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad you appreciate the accurate information. It’s important to get the facts right when discussing such fascinating topics. If you have any more questions or topics you'd like to see covered, feel free to let me know!

@@MindFull-101 Common it may be, but it is also wrong.

[@MindFull-101]

As a non-native English speaker, I appreciate any feedback that helps me improve. However, it's worth noting that 'Betelgeuse' is pronounced differently depending on the context and the speaker's background. The common anglicized pronunciation can be 'BET-uhl-jooz,' but it's understandable that different pronunciations can exist.

[@Evan490BC]

@@MindFull-101 No, don't get me wrong, it's not your fault! I *know* that people pronounce it wrong, that's why it is annoying to me.

[@MindFull-101]

I see where you’re coming from. Pronunciations can vary, and it’s a common challenge with names from different languages. Thanks for sharing your thoughts-I’m always open to learning and improving
