Best Answer

Betelgeuse is the massive red giant star at the shoulder of the constellation Orion. The greater the initial mass of a star, the faster it develops, and the faster it ages. Betelgeuse is nearing the end of its "life", and will probably explode in a supernova relatively soon.

However, "relatively soon" to an astronomer means "within the next 100,000 years", so it isn't likely to happen tonight - or even within our short human lifetimes.
