You got it, L.A.!
Here goes:
Well, maybe it already happened. It might just take a few years for you to see it.
DITTO!
I thought that was a movie with Michael Keaton and Geena Davis.
Hate to break it to you pal, but you missed it. Betelgeuse exploded yesterday afternoon. You were probably inside binge-watching “The Real Housewives of New Jersey”, or something like that.
I’m gonna leave the heaven’s alone... That’s way above my pay grade.
Remember Kohoutek?
Dud.
Remember Halley’s comet?

“The 1986 apparition of Halley’s Comet was the least favourable on record.”
‘Once-in-a-lifetime’ interstellar explosion will be visible from Earth this summer: NASA
Excerpt:
A star is dead?See the full story with animations at the link within the link.Keep your eyes on the skies, stargazers: NASA has predicted that the much-anticipated “once-in-a-life-time” star explosion — or nova — will be visible to the naked eye sometime this summer, per a recent press release.
“It’s incredibly exciting to have this front-row seat,” said Dr. Rebekah Hounsell, an assistant research scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
Dubbed T Coronae Borealis or the “Blaze Star,” the celestial event is located 3,000 light years away and is comprised of a white dwarf, an “Earth-sized” remnant of a dead star. The starburst’s mass, meanwhile, is similar to that of the Sun.
Also in the mix is an “ancient red giant slowly being stripped of hydrogen by the relentless gravitational pull of its hungry neighbor,” NASA described.
When enough hydrogen from the red giant accumulates on the surface of the white dwarf, it triggers a massive thermonuclear explosion that blasts the amassed material into space in a blinding flash. The intergalactic phenomenon is not to be confused with a supernova, a similarly cosmic combustion that destroys some dying stars — rather than keeping them intact like the nova — and is often billions of times brighter than a nova.
In the case of the Blaze Star, that event appears to reoccur, on average, every 80 years, and can repeat itself for hundreds of thousands of years.

We should see it in about 630 years.
Alright Wonka, how much to make Betelgeuse explode now?
Betelgeuse, the new energy drink from Klaus Schwab and the WEF. If you vill not eat ze bugs zen you must drink ze bugs. DRINK ZE BUGS!
Laz- Betelgeuse did its thing back in January, as far as being seen here. When it actually happened (the light just now getting to Earth from many years ago)- it is 724 light years from Earth so if it has already happened the light (or less light) is being seen from 724 years ago so to say.
If you’re interested the real supernova coming is T Corona Borealis which is taking up matter from a red dwarf star as they swirl around each other. This is being watched by star freaks all over the world. It will happen, and be seen by unaided vision . Instructions on how to find it all deal with the Big Dipper and then directing orientation to the star pair at the end of a “crown” constellation.
Lot of internet chat on this.
It would take a few years for the light from the explosion to reach Earth.
Its on my bucket list so yes I’m in!
Youtube “It’s finally happening Betelgeuse Supernova LIVE”.
And if you eat that, it’s going to immediately start an irreversible process in your body.
And there are some stocks that are going to EXPLODE tomorrow.
And there are ways to pay no taxes.
And Voyager made alien contact.
I have family there.
