The hosts discuss the star Betelgeuse in the Orion constellation and its potential to collapse into a black hole or neutron star.
Original TransmissionsIn this brief episode, the hosts examine the astronomical phenomenon of Betelgeuse, a red supergiant star in the Orion constellation that is nearing the end of its stellar life cycle. They discuss how when the star eventually explodes, it will appear as bright as a quarter moon and could potentially become either a black hole or neutron star, which would make it the closest black hole to Earth.
