And when that change happens, the center of the star collapses on itself kind of from the inside out, and then that leads to what we call the core-collapse supernova." The lumpy Betelgeuse is one ...

The last time a nearby star went supernova was in 1604. Although stars explode somewhere in the universe on a daily basis, most of them are too far away to be visible without powerful telescopes.

Stock image of a supernova. Betelgeuse, a huge star 650 light years away, may soon explode into a supernova that would be visible during the day.

A massive star that exploded in the Pinwheel Galaxy in May appears to have unexpectedly lost approximately one sun's worth of ejected mass during the final years of its life before going supernova ...

When Beetlejuice goes off, it's going to be the show of a lifetime. But it's not going to hurt us. Betelgeuse is the shoulder of Orion, a red giant sitting about 500 light years away. It's huge ...
