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.

How can betelgeuse look sso bright if it is far away and has a cool surface?

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.
