Betelgeuse is one of the easiest stars at the sky to identify.

That is Betelgeuse. Easy-peasy.

Thanks for posting, Red Badger.

This is the most concise and best written essay on supernovas I have read.

My previous knowledge was just the BOOM basics.

Photos of the Mass Ejection are completely amazing.

So this will a Once In A Lifetime event?

Greater than Halley’s Comet, which I was told since the 1960’s was a lifetime event?

*Halley’s Comet was a bust.
