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 else can I help you with?
What would happen if Betelgeuse exploded?
If Betelgeuse (beetle juice) exploded then we would experience a supernova. actually Betelgeuse already had it's supernova. It's predicted that earth may see the supernova in around 2012-2013 around that year. Editing Correction: You can't detect a star going supernova before the light has reached us. This answer is biased. Claims of Betelgeuse supernova light reaching us 2012 is false. In fact it might not even go supernova the next 100'000 years. It might also be that Betelgeuse has a unsymmetrical shape and therefor is seen as shrinking. Either way, it would light up the sky as much as the full moon for a few weeks and then be visible to the naked eye fading for about a year. Also Betelgeuse is too far away from our solar system (640 Ly) to do any harm.

Which was discovered first Betelgeuse or Rigel?
Betelgeuse and Rigel are both in the top 10 brightest stars in the sky. They have been seen bright in the sky even since cavemen looked up. So, they were discovered about the same time.
Will Betelgeuse explode in 2022?
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that Betelgeuse will explode in 2022. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star that is expected to eventually explode in a supernova, but the exact timing of this event is uncertain and could happen thousands of years from now.
