So far we are stuck at our current distance of 640 light years. We do not have the ability to travel between stars as the distances are simply too great.
No planet could ever come close to the size of Betelgeuse.
Well for shore the biggest star in our solar system is called "Betelgeuse" not many people know how hot Betelgeuse is!
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.
Betelgeuse and Alpha Centauri are both prominent stars in the night sky. They are relatively close to Earth in astronomical terms, with Betelgeuse being a red supergiant in the constellation of Orion, while Alpha Centauri is a triple star system closest to our solar system.
Several things to consider:-- Because of its ENORMOUS size. We believe that Betelgeuse is about as largeas the orbits of the Asteroid Belt. So if Betelgeuse sat exactly where the sun sits,then Mercury, Venus, the Earth, and Mars would all be inside of it.-- Because it's so close to us. Betelgeuse is roughly 800 light-years from us. That'san enormous distance, but actually pretty close as stars go.-- Because it's so hot. The surface temperature of Betelgeuse is estimated at 3,600 K,which is roughly 3,325° Celsius and 5,960° Fahrenheit. That's pretty cool for a star,but you still wouldn't want to touch it.
Most people probably know it as beetlejuice.
