Thanks for another great video! It would be fun to tell kids something like: "When I was your age, there was a giant star in this place, and then it exploded..."
Wonderful video! I am so glad that l happened upon your channel when l did and get to enjoy your content as it evolves in both scope and quality. In real life, it feels like there are so relatively few of us who share such a passion for the cosmos and all its wonders. So it's very gratifying to find communities of kindred spirits who understand this mutual fascination. As for Betelgeuse, part of me selfishly hopes that the optimists are correct and that it will go supernova within decades rather than millenia. But then another part of me wonders how much life might be within its 150 light year or so kill zone. How many planetary systems with life or the potential for it might be terminally irradiated when it does inevitably explode. So that makes me think maybe l shouldn't wish for it to happen sooner rather than later.
Really enjoy your videos and your very engaging presentation. I'm watching these here in the UK.You certainly deserve a far larger viewership. Keep up the excellent work, and thank you.
I really wish it would in our life time. I think this would inspire young people to become scientists and engineers in a time when everyone wants to be a social media influencer. We are slowly losing our ability to look outward and wonder as a society, to instead fight each other or chase vapid goals.
“The whole star explode…” but there is still that core left? It is bouncing off the remaining matter out into space? So, not the whole star explodes with nothing left?
Usually, what is left after a star explodes has enough mass to become a neutron star (densest object known to humanity) or it will become a black hole.
i love when nasa predicts its due to explode any day now.. but thats means nothing.. cause possibly or impossibly it may have already did and if not it wont be seen by us if it happened today or tonight.. so we are basically saying oh shit this may have happened way back in the day so i wanna see it now and then lets watch and wait .. ok.. sure have fun with that.. if it was or did.. idk.. the odds of enjoying that scenario is kinda pretty slim.. so i choose to just enjoy seeing beatle juice a bit longer actuallyCuzits a fun star if you ask me.. kinda wild .. lol
One astronomer has hypothesized that Betelgeuse is nearing the end of its carbon burning stage, which if he is right, then Betelgeuse may go supernova in a couple of decades. We can hope.
**pokes Betelgeuse with a stick** come on.....do it. Do the thing.
Another great video. The progress you've made since your first video is very prominent:)
Thank you. The effort you go to in writing these is clear. And this is a very interesting subject, too
Just so you know, I smile each time this video appears on my feed. Your title says how we each feel. “C’mon Betelgeuse! Explode already!”
Great job on this video! It was well put together and the flow was easy to follow! 🤩
Great video! Best of luck for your channel. You deserve to get more and more attention.

Beautiful and brilliant...and your videos are fabulous too! 😘

At any moment your channel will shine as brightly. Its only a matter of time. Bravo once again
You go girl, you rock, keep up the good work!
I very much enjoyed this video. Betelgeuse is a favorite topic for me. Fascinating. Thank you as always!
Learned a lot. Thanks!
As soon as we stop looking at it, it will explode.
Suggestion for a video: iPTF14hls was the weirdest supernova we've ever seen.
Love you
Love your videos
Great vid. I love your voice.
Thank you!
Amazing to see such a well known star fluctuate to this extent.

Maybe if we use a different time scale when we say "soon". "Betelgeuse will explode any century".
What's your tattoo and what does it mean?

Wait, we travel through the spiral arms and not with them? TIL.
👍❤️
Love an intelligent woman telling me tell .e
My favorite star is saved!!
I'm in love
maybe there's an advanced civilization around Betelgeuse doing all it can to delay its explosion, and we're here hoping that it explodes sooner 🙂
Betelgeuse lived way too short to even form proper planets.
I dream of you... ❤️
