How are betelgeuse and pollux stars alike?
Both Betelgeuse and Pollux are close to the end of their life. Both of the stars are large and cold in surface temperature. One difference is that Betelgeuse is a red supergiant, and Pollux is an orange giant.
How long does it take light to reach earth from Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star about 640 light-years from Earth. So light from Betelgeuse takes 640 years to get here. Here's an interesting fact; the star Betelgeuse is probably near the end of its life, and may explode in a supernova explosion any time. Very massive stars like Betelgeuse live fast and die in under 100 million years, and Betelgeuse will probably go supernova within the next 10,000 years. This is like no time at all in cosmic terms, but in terms of a HUMAN lifetime, it probably will NOT happen while we're alive to see it. But it could. In fact, Betelgeuse might have exploded 500 years ago, and we wouldn't know it for another 140 years!
Scientist often wonder if the moon Titan could support life that is because it has something no other moon has?
does saturn's moon support life
Could Betelgeuse already blown up?
It's possible, yes. Betelgeuse is a red giant star that is going through the last stages of life, as viewed from earth. The light from the star takes several hundred years to reach us though, so it's possible that the star has already come to the end of it's life in that time. When it comes to the end of it's life it will explode in a supernova explosion. We should be able to see this from earth, the explosion would be so bright that we could see it during the day.
What kind of star is Betelgeuse?
A red super giant star nearing the end of its life. It is currently fusing helium in its core. Betelgeuse is expected to explode as a type II supernova, possibly within the next million years.
Is the Betelgeuse at the beginning or end of its life?
Betelgeuse is near the end of its life, probably going to explode as a supernova in the next few thousand years.

Why could Saturn support life?
Saturn cannot support life. a hydrogen and helium atmosphere cant support life. then theres the radiation factor too.
Is there life on Ceres?
It is extremely unlikely that Ceres could support life.
Could the star betelgeuse have a planet harbouring life?
No. Betelgeuse is about 10 million years old, which is very young in terms stellar age and is barely enough time for a planet to form. Any planet so young would still be red hot from its formation. Despite being a young star, Betelgeuse is already dying as it has burned through the hydrogen in its core very quickly and has expanded into a red supergiant much brighter than it previously was. If a planet near Betelgeuse was the right temperature for life before the expansion, it would be too hot now.
What star could support life?
No star itself could support life, but a planet around a star like our own and as far away as Earth may have some sort of life on it.
Where is there a moon that could possibly support life?
Europa
Can the moon support life?
no the moon cannot support life because it has little oxygen so nothing could live there

Could neptune support human life with modifications?
nope
Is it possible that Uranus could support life?
Highly unlikely
