Not to reveal my age, but back in my day, we drew Betelgeuse bright (at Orion’s left armpit) relative to other stars in Orion. https://t.co/NusELUrEEX — PolitiTweet.org

With stellar death comes cosmic rebirth as the spewed guts enrich nearby clouds with elements of life itself — carbon nitrogen oxygen — boosting chances that the next generation of star systems borne of these clouds will spawn planets such as Earth that cradle life such as ours. — PolitiTweet.org

FYI: There is no cause to blame anything that happens to the star Betelgeuse on @realDonaldTrump — PolitiTweet.org

@VoilaRevina You nailed it. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Indeed, Betelgeuse may have already exploded — now a ghost, a "dead star walking" across the Galaxy — with the light-speed signal of its demise not yet arrived here on Earth. — PolitiTweet.org

Betelgeuse is the star's common name — Arabic for "Armpit of the Great One". Its catalog name is Alpha Orionis. Two thirds of all stars in the night sky with names have Arabic names. An homage to their "stellar" navigational skills 1000 years ago, during the Golden Age of Islam. — PolitiTweet.org

Beginning late summer of 2019, the reddish star Betelgeuse has dropped from the 7th to the 21st brightest star in the nighttime sky. No need to panic, but If it exploded, the flash would be visible in the daytime, and rival the brightness of the Moon for weeks. https://t.co/KHvJjV3neB — PolitiTweet.org

Betelgeuse was born about 10 million years ago — long after Earth's big dinosaurs roamed the land. But the star is now near death. No need to panic, but stellar evolution models tell us that it will likely explode as a Supernova sometime within the next 100,000 years. https://t.co/h7YKSK3nO9 — PolitiTweet.org

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

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

If I had one question for Albert Einstein, I might just mess with his head and ask, “What time does Grand Central Terminal arrive at the next train?” — PolitiTweet.org

@celtic_traveler All times I’ve been an ass were when my intent was not communicated successfully. Hanukah, a multi-day celebration, no? Such a reference would have greatly complicated the Tweet. And of course I’d be a bigger ass for omitting Jews altogether. — PolitiTweet.org

@ImAShrimp @TehZeek Just an honest observation celebrating rare civility in the comment thread. — PolitiTweet.org

After extensive discussion and analysis, @Chrisdcomedy and I agree... If #AmazonEcho listens to you 24/7, it just might know if you’ve been bad or good. Consider also that @Amazon Prime delivers gifts to your door overnight, far and wide. CONCLUSION: @JeffBezos is Santa Claus — PolitiTweet.org
