    The narrator said “Beetlejuice” way more than thee times in this video, at least enough to summon him and banish him several times. 😂
  • the best prediction science can give is , within the next 100.000 years this star will go nova , chances are we wont see it , chances are you great great great great grand children wont see it , at the same time , it could go tomorrow

    For all we know Betelgeuse already went super nova a few hundred years ago so it might be another 300 plus years till the light reaches earth

    Thank you for not being one of those productions that predict Betelgeuse will blow up next week or month. There's too much of that hype.

    What if a cow did jump over the moon? We would all love to see that. While we wait, gravity sucks, reality bites and time kills.
  • The 'catastrophic' in the title is CLICKBAIT!!!! @ 0:48 I agree the event is being "eagerly awaited".
  • Betelgeuse is one of the largest stars, about 1,000 times larger than the Sun. If Betelgeuse is placed in the center of the Solar System, its outer layer will surpass the orbit of Mars, meaning the entire inner solar system will lie within Betelgeuse.
