    The supernova of Betelgeuse is the most anticipated celestial event. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star in Orion. Astronomers are regularly monitoring the star. A recent research paper has revealed that the star's surface is boiling, creating an illusion of rapid rotation.

      It is being observed across many EM wavelengths, including the infrared. As a matter of fact, observations in the infrared during the dimming in 2019 (in the visible spectrum) remained steady, so the dimming wasn’t in the infrared, just the visible light part of the spectrum. If I remember, Hubble does have some capability in observing in 5he near infrared.

      Beetlejuice is a giant waste depository for toxic waste generated by the artificially created stars used to power the hyperloop slip stream gates to traverse the galaxy by exiting local space time and traveling outside the curvature of the 3rd dimension of our universe and local time flow is stopped while outside the confines of space time, in the foamy environment of the higs field where the multiverse can be observed and quantified, before you pop your gravity bubble and the graviton waves push you through the space time membrane , back into our own universe that we can exist in. Most universes in the multiverse lack the necessary constants and energy needed to support biological so called life. Were we to accidentally poke a hole into the wrong universe, we would evaporate into basic sub atomic particles and cease to exist. So if could give me a lift to Saturn, I can gather enough materials and deuterium from the wrings to build my own gravity slip stream to access the higs field and get back to my dimension hopefully without being pushed into the wrong universe again. I'm tired of the clown universe of evil and chaos. It was fun the first couple millennium, but its still the clown universe and I hate clowns. Get me the hell out of here. I also can make your interdimentional gravity drive operate more effectively and prevent accidental disentanglment and quantum evaporation and other types of interdimentional errors and potential fuckery that can cause unwanted non existence and cascading universal ripples and mergers with unstable universes like clown universe. So come pick me up, and then we can go back to the universe of order, harmony, and swarms of winged nympomaniac super model hookers and portable blow job maidens . You know , those hot chicks with no vocal chords and a desire to be naked every time they see a star ship land. Clown universe sucks and has none of the great stuff found in the orderly universe we were robbed from. Get me out of here

    I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EXPLANATION
    Back in November I recorded a super zoomed in video of Betelgeuse in an area with little to no light polution, in the video I acknowledge just how crazy bright it is and that it's flashing blue and red. You can even make out the bubbly effects in the video, I did not even think astronomers were studying Betelgeuse right now because the last thing NASA reported on it was that it dimmed significantly and went from being the 10th brightest star to the 20th something which was back in 2019, and now it's even brighter than it was when it was the 10th brightest star, so essentially I spotted and recorded Betelgeuse's bubbles AND the fact it got so much brighter - months before NASA even reported these things, and for that I am very proud of myself, as soon as I went inside home after making the recording, I tried as hard as I could to find any news about the stars current state but the latest studies on the star were in 2019 so I never was able to find any explanation...until now

    Way back in the earlier days of personal computers (PCs), I found a program for the Atari that simulated motion by changing (rotating) colors on a water fall. This seems to be what is happening with Betelgeuse. With the convection of temperatures creating red-shifts/blue shifts, this has the same effect. (Basically what you had already said, but in a simpler, repeatable fashion.)

    Making lightshift "observations" of something 724 lightyears away is like looking at a flea on Pluto and declaring which of its balls is closer to earth. By the way, Betelgeuse has forever been going supernova "any minuet now over the next 100,000 years" Believe what you will

    People have really got to stop thinking in such reductionist material terms. With such thinking originating in the era of gaslight and so now, start to catch up to the Natural Philosophers.
    We are now in the 21st century of plasma physics and plasma doesn't boil, it discharges in one of three different plasma discharge modes, with stars discharging in PDM 3, arc mode. With the varying electric input from the galactic main body being variable and so giving the differences in luminosity.

    The models of supernova's show that a star has to go through this boiling bubbling process first before it can explode. The models just don't work to produce a supernova without this happening. Doesn't mean the models are right but that is what they show. There is still a very small risk of a gamma ray burst from a Betelgeuse supernova despite being 650 light years away. It is almost certainly not big enough to produce a gamma ray burst and its explosion poles would have to be pointed directly at Earth but there is still a one in a billion risk. You would have to be in a concrete type basement for a few hours to escape this risk and everyone in your hemisphere would be dead on the streets anyway if it happened and there would be no electronic equipment left intact (including your car and your phone and electricity) so don't worry about it. You don't want to live through a gamma ray burst.

    What kind of rotational speed is listed in km/s ? RPM, sure; radians per second, sure; km/s ... not so much! Now if you were talking surface velocity, which is fine for a hard surface like the surface of the Moon or Mars or Earth, but is kind of hard to apply to a bag of gas like Jupiter or the Sun. But, either way, if you meant surface velocity, say surface velocity.

      You certainly will be able to see it with the naked eye. It’s already one of the brightest stars in the sky. When it goes supernova, it will be so bright, you’ll be able to see it during the day for probably a few weeks. At night, it will be as bright as the moon.
