We are going to see a Supernova

Predicted Supernovae of Star Betelguese

       When you look at the Orion constellation, you notice some significantly bright two stars. Namely, they are - Rigel - the brightest blue one, and Betelgeuse - the bright red one. Recently scientists have found strange behavior from Betelgeuse. 

In late 2019, astronomers detected strange dimming of Beteletguese. It loses almost 60% of its brightness, leaving a mysterious doubt behind. Astronomers think that it happened because of an internal thing that happened inside of this star, and obviously, they suggest that Betelgeuse is going to end its life soon, very soon. That "soon" is from the star's point of view. Because scientists think that it is going to go supernova in 10 to 100,00 years. Yeah, that's quite large, for a star, it's a bit small. Because an Average star lives at least 5 billion Earth years. Again it's large - because stars are LARGE!

How it will appear when Betelgeuse Explode

So how we can see this when it is happening? We will see it bright as a half-moon, making a beautiful sight in the sky. It will appear more like a nebula, probably creating a neutron star - which is a rapidly rotating highly dense star. But sadly, we will see Orion in a new look, after losing his left shoulder. It will be kinda abnormal till we get used to it.

So some get scared when they see this news. Will this affect Earth? Obviously NO. Because it's too far away from Earth, whopping 642.5 light years. So this will not affect Earth, no more than negligible Ozone damage. But, if it makes a gamma-ray burst pointing at Earth, it will be a dangerous situation for humans. But it's less happening - Scientists think. Just watch that beautiful event with your own eyes, it is not an event that every human is going to witness, because it is rare.
