What are facts about Betelgeuse?

Answer 1

Betelgeuse is the eighth brightest star in the night sky and the second brightest star in the constellation of Orin. It is classified as a Red Giant. Astronomers believe that Betelgeuse is only 10 million years old, but has evolved rapidly due to its high mass. Betelgeuse is made from: Helium, Carbon, and Oxygen. Astronomers don't know when but they are sure that Betelgeuse will explode and become a SuperNova. Betelgeuse is 700 million miles in diameter and the surface temperature is 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Its luminosity is about 10,000 times the Sun and it's the first star to be directly imaged by a telescope. Finally Betelgeuse is visible in winter skies from the Northern Hemisphere in the constellation Orion.

Answer 2

Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star located in the Orion constellation, about 700 light years away from Earth. It is one of the largest stars known, with a diameter about 1,000 times that of the Sun. Betelgeuse is expected to go supernova in the future, which could potentially be visible during the day on Earth.
