New View of Betelgeuse

Post by Luke »

Here is an article about how scientists took readings from the Large Millimeter Array in South America and came up with a better resolution of the star Betelgeuse. Betelgeuse is so big that if if was in place of our sun, the surface would be around the orbit of Jupiter: https://www.universetoday.com/136220/am ... tesy-alma/

Interesting. That is a huge star. I wonder if and when this explodes if this supernova will be one of the signs in the heavens of Christ's return.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
