The star Betelgeuse is so large, if you swapped it with the Sun, it would engulf the orbit of Mars and extend all the way through the asteroid belt. No need to panic, but at 700 light years, it's the closest star to the Sun that will end its life in a Supernova explosion. https://t.co/TcDqUmXrNX — PolitiTweet.org

No need to panic, but the red supergiant star Betelgeuse (yes there is a star with that name), one of the brightest in the nighttime sky, marking the left armpit of the constellation Orion, is mysteriously dimming, having lost 60% of its brightness across the past six months. https://t.co/1jOFtv0nWh — PolitiTweet.org

@KidsDrDave Orion was drawn facing away from us for most illustrations of the classical period. https://t.co/KPaSOFbuvn — PolitiTweet.org
