Good, one layer of protection via theory. Do we know, as a second layer, the orientation of its poles well enough to say it wouldn’t ‘be pointed at us if the first theory were wrong? That much angular momentum is very unlikely to change its aim.
Well, they have been able to get details of Betelgeuse’s surface using speckle interferometry, and one of the brighter spots is thought to be its pole. This is off center, so not pointed at us. But I doubt Betelgeuse is about to supernova anyway. I’ve heard another theory that it may have absorbed another star as it expanded into a supergiant, and still has plenty of fuel for another few million years. But you can never really be sure.
