Betelgeuse supernova: Star reaches its dimmest point yet as it could EXPLODE

When they do, they implode, collapsing in on themselves under their gravitational force before a huge explosion occurs.

NASA said: “As a star runs out of nuclear fuel, some of its mass flows into its core.

“Eventually, the core is so heavy that it cannot withstand its own gravitational force. The core collapses, which results in the giant explosion of a supernova.”

The supernova of Betelgeuse will be brighter than any star implosion ever observed from Earth, dwarfing that of the Kepler’s Star supernova, Daniel Brown, a lecturer in astronomy at Nottingham Trent University said.
