... ocated a mere 640 light-years away. So if it explodes today, it will have exploded 640 years ago.

I don’t even know what it is. But I DO know it will be blamed on Trump

I’m pretty sure we can still blame our fossil fuel use for it anyway.

Don’t they mean did Betelgeuse explode 640 years ago?

“Betelgeuse” —Arabic for “Orion’s armpit.”

Zaphod is likely responsible.

"Similar dimming events have occurred before, reducing the brightness of Betelgeuse below even what it currently is at."Whoever wrote this thing must have slept through grammar class.

Later in the article, the author downplays the likelihood of a supernova:
Similar dimming events have occurred before, reducing the brightness of Betelgeuse below even what it currently is at. But to see a dimming event occur this rapidly and this severely really hasn't been seen before over the past century at all. It's unlikely to be a signature of an imminent supernova ... Whether there's a detonation about to happen or not, something fascinating is truly occurring.

I didn’t see any reference in the article to the Star of David. Isn’t a supernova around the time of Christ’s birth believed to be the sign that drew the wise men and others to Bethlehem?

Not an astrophysicist, but I’m not sure I’d want a supernova going off that close to us.
