Is that a polar ice cap in that Betelgeuse photo?

Scientists expand their knowledge, learn more, change their opinions about certain facts. That’s just how it’s done.
If you encounter anything labeled “settled science” or if you ask a question and get shouted down as a “science denier” then you can be sure that the topic under discussion isn’t science at all — it’s just political science. Which is mostly lies based on nothing.

Betelgeuse Is Neither as Far Nor as Large as We Thought, And It's a Total Bummer
So instead of being horrifyingly large, it's just monstrously large. Yeah, real bummer lol. This star dwarfs our sun and there's a small chance we will get to see it supernova in our lifetimes.

So we are still waiting for the remainder of the sequence after Helium; carbon burning, oxygen burning and silicon burning. With this news, I’m guessing that there will be no gold in that there rubble when it does go boing!
Shame, that!

If Betelgeuse is 530 light years away, it could have exploded in 1492 and we will find out about it in a couple of years.

Wow! The light we’re seeing now was leaving Betelgeuse just as Columbus was getting his luggage together so he could go discover America!

"Our results say Betelgeuse only extends out to two thirds of that, with a radius 750 times the radius of the Sun." Poor little thing.

Since then there have been many more attempts to drag a metaphorical measuring tape around Betelgeuse's butt.
