Wow! So cool! I just got a new third floor apartment with a 180 view and no city lights.

I got a telescope yesterday that will be here Friday. I can’t wait to play this weekend!

what a Beautiful scenario, a galaxy of stars are more bigger than planet earth, Orion must be a celestial work of the Big bang theory

Is it supernova-ing yet?

Now?

Now?

Is it now?

davidbflower.bsky.social•1 day ago

Wish it was.

kjbbnd.bsky.social•1 day ago

Definitely hope it happens in our lifetime

SN in our lifetimes? Probably not....nice red tho....

enigma8750.bsky.social•2 days ago

Do you think that it will go Super Nova in our lifetime? which is to say, did it go Super Nova thousands of years ago and we are just about to see it in our lifetime?

embernovaquinn.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's like 600 light years away, I believe

enigma8750.bsky.social•2 days ago

So 600 years ago if we saw it today. Wow. Wrap your mind around Space Time and Gravity Mass then you have paradox.

Not really, kids take longer than that to get ready for school, bed, or for anything that doesn't contain sugar. Mind wrapping is pointless.

enigma8750.bsky.social•1 day ago

sugar is volatile.

I'm watching a documentary about 30,000 year old cave paintings rn🙂

That's the star they think is nearing the end of its life isn't it?
I love the fact that it could have already gone supernova but we just don't know it yet because the light from the explosion hasn't had time to reach us.

scepticpirate.bsky.social•2 days ago

The giants armpit. What a sight

lilboopsy.bsky.social•2 days ago

What a shot 😍

Unbelievably beautiful.

As much as I love Betelgeuse, I really want to see it explode in our lifetime.

Any day now! 😀

king-six-of-things.bsky.social•1 day ago

You just know it'll go supernova and some daft sod will say it's God's blessing on Trump.

You heard it here first people.

sirequinox.bsky.social•2 days ago

The one that could blow at any second. May have already blown and we just don't know it yet.

alexahawaii.bsky.social•1 day ago

Great capture! ✨✨✨

jonterrence.bsky.social•2 days ago

She's due to go super nova any time now

frodorules.bsky.social•2 days ago

Boom anytime

beernutmark.bsky.social•2 days ago

I can't help but to say "And go Nova......NOW!" When I see it. Someday I might seem incredibly powerful. Most of the time I just look like an idiot though.
