Betelgeuse is near the end of its life, probably going to explode as a supernova in the next few thousand years.
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 is a star and thus cannot support life - as we know it.
life
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.
Betelgeuse is only about 10 million years old - and is close to death already. It has already exhibited, an expansion and contraction of it's outer shell, which is a sure sign, that it will soon (astronomically) come to a final end as a supernova.
That's beginning, not end isn't it?
The letter "e".
There is an e at the beginning of death, at the end of life, and in the middle of the word universe. This riddle describes where the letter e falls in each word.
About ten million years. Betelgeuse is a high-mass star and is therefore near the end of its "life" even though it formed much more recently than the Sun (which is between 4 and 5 billion years old, and still "middle-aged").
There is neither a beginning nor an end , but a constant change between beginning and end, between birth and death, which then produces new life...
The middle. Bah, bah, bah!
