Description

The general consensus among astronomers is, that Betelgeuse is ready to go supernova. I hope it happens in my lifetime. If Betelgeuse were at the center of the Solar System, its surface would extend past the asteroid belt, wholly engulfing the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and possibly Jupiter.
