@spaceaccordingtoskylar: The red supergiant Betelgeuse is nearing the end of its life, which will culminate in a supernova. But when is this going to happen? Has it already happened? Turns out the answer is probably not… #Astronomy #space #Science #betelgeuse #astrophysics

Light doesn't takes time to travel, infact Light hasn't time at all, it takes DISTANCE!

Stuart :
is it even useful to think of things as "already happened" when information transfer is limited by light speed anyway?

Anyone claiming it has already is making an assertion with no evidence.

Wait! Why the error bars? I thought we were able to determine distance pretty accurately.

So, there’s a 5-ish % chance that it already did and we haven’t seen it yet…. and a 96-ish % chance it hasn’t?

The spectra does show it is forming iron, which is the final stage before supernova. Unfortunately, we have not seen any other red supergiant at this stage so we don’t know how long this final stage will last.
