If the clumps and dust were blown off 70-250 years ago and the star is 4000 light years away, how are we able to observe and calculate this event?

The event should still be 3750-3930 years away from observation.

And why Betelgeuse? There are quite a number of stars out there that are bigger.

"it is blasting out way too much infrared light for a star of its kind, which is a telltale sign that it's surrounded by dust."

Allergies are kicking up with Spring almost here.

Carburetor is set a little bit ‘rich’. Better lean it out.
