The Strange Behavior of Betelgeuse Continues.

Betelgeuse, the red giant star, has grown uncharacteristically bright since the Great Dimming event in 2019. It has been fluctuating back and forth on a small scale but on a steady upward trend for months and is currently the 7th brightest star in the sky. However, scientists believe that its current behavior is more likely a bit of ongoing wobbliness following the 2019 dimming, and the star will return to normal within a decade. Betelgeuse is on the brink of death in cosmic timescales, but on human timescales, its supernova could be 100,000 years away.
