Betelgeuse supernova, artwork - Stock-Grafiken

Red supergiant star Betelgeuse, found at the leftmost shoulder in the constellation of Orion the Hunter, is poised to explode. It is close to having exhausted its entire stock of reactionable nuclear fuel, and could go supernova any time within the next one million years. This artwork depicts the constellation were Betelgeuse to explode now. It shines an uncharacteristic steely blue.
