No, Betelgeuse is not hurtling toward Earth. It is a red supergiant star located about 700 light-years away in the constellation Orion. While it is expected to eventually go supernova, this event is not imminent and would pose no threat to Earth given the vast distance separating us from the star.
What else can I help you with?
How many light years away is betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is approximately 600 light years from Earth.
How many light years from earth is betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is approximately 642.5 light years away from Earth.
Why does a star such as betelgeuse which is located far from earth have a much greater absolute magnitude than apparent magnitude?
well my reason is that the betelgeuse must be very large , because they said that the betelgeuse is located far from earth .

Which star is brighter Vega or Betelgeuse?
Brightnest is a factor of luminousity and distance as seen from Earth. (Apparent magnitude)Vega - 0.03.Betelgeuse: 0.42So Betelgeuse is brighter as viewed from Earth.

How big is Betelgeuse compared to Earth?
Betelgeuse is about 1,180 times larger the Sun. So Betelgeuse is about 128,620 times bigger than Earth. So as a rough approximation about 2,127,774,087,928,000 Earths could fit into Betelgeuse. That's 2 quadrillion.
How long does it take for the light generated by the star Betelgeuse to reach Earth?
The light takes about 640 years to reach Earth, as Betelgeuse (a red supergiant star) is about 640 light years from Earth.
How far away is Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is a red supergiant in the constellation Orion. It is approximately 640 light years from us.
Will a giant space rock ever strike the Earth and send it hurtling into the sun causing the Earth to vaporize?
Hopefully not heh
Is Betelgeuse the closest star to earth?
No, Betelgeuse is not the closest star to Earth. The closest star to Earth is the sun, which is part of our solar system. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star located in the constellation of Orion, approximately 642.5 light years away from Earth.
What did hubble conclude when he noted that light emitted from stars is shifting toward the red end of the electromagnet spectrum?
Hubble, after some time, released that the Red Shift he was seeing meant that these stars were hurtling away from the Earth at a large velocity.
Is Betelgeuse going to destroy earth?
No. Some time in the next million years Betelgeuse will explode as a supernova, but it is too far away from us to damage the earth. All we will see is Betelgeuse getting a lot brighter in the night sky.
