Small update: as of January 22, 2020, Betelgeuse has dimmed even more, much lower than in any previous decades of observation. Most recent observation was only a day ago. The gravitational wave that was detected has now created its own mystery - nobody knows what caused it and where it came from.
What's the newest measured magnitude? It's getting close to Bellatrix now, maybe 1.6?
Say it 2 more times
I know what's coming!
Whoever lives to see B go boom is going to get to see a very special event that history will be looking back on for a long time. How awesome would it be for our kids to tell stories of their grandparents lives when that star in the sky blew up. Kinda nostalgic about the idea
I look forward to learning more about this. Thank you

What an absolutely wonderful, once in a lifetime experience that would be.
I guess you mean the lifetime of this star, because Betelgeuse like stars live hundreds of of millions of years...
@Romulas Ex I would disagree, our star isn't extraordinary in any field, but beutelgeuse is incredibly large, making it a bit more exciting
Once in a thousand lifetimes more like it!
until the gamma gets here and cloud formation increases. maybe. but yeah, like the comets a decade back, fascinating.
Yep, I am hoping it exploded 642 yrs ago and we are about to see it as the light finally arrives.
Long shot, but how cool would that be?
It's amazing to me that with all the stars in the galaxy, this is the only one we know of that maybe, could go suprenova soon.

Um if LIGO detected Betelgeuse exploding, we'd be able to see it. Gravity waves propagate at the speed of light. The gravity waves would arrive at the same time as the light of the explosion.
Thank you for stating this. These ppl are so easily fooled.
“Free space” has some dispersion since it’s not entirely free of matter. There’s lots of stuff across 700 LY of interstellar space inside a galaxy. The gravity waves will always go faster than light in such environment, IIRC.
@@absurdengineering LIKE MAGIC

I wonder if there are any particles that can be detected that travel faster than the speed of light upon the supernova event ? I wonder if we have the technology to detect it ?

I just want a minute to apreciate how we can now say "gravity waves detectes from a nearby star" and it's not just bad science fiction and no one bats an eye any more, it has just become another thing that we can do, that we have the technology to detect gravity waves and that gives us a whole nother understanding of how the universe works, it's just amazing
They can say anything but that doesn't make it true. This stuff is science fiction not science.
It hasn't been science fiction for hundred years, we just didn't have the technology to detect them.

Thank you again for another wonderfully informative video. You explain things in an intelligent way, which informs people who are not as scientifically trained as you are, in a language we can understand.
Just wanted to let you know how much many of us appreciate this as well as you.
Bless you, good sir and thank you so much!
Oh my Betelgeuse, my lifelong friend. Always there to comfort me with your shimmering warmth from afar. Now your ancient heart is shrinking and the final act draws near. I pray for one more glimpse of your glorious light before you disappear.
As soon as I've seen the title I went outside to check the sky. It's still there and it's still a beutiful star.
If it blew up last week you would have to wait 640 years to see it
+XBOX ROCKS well we’d actually have a few years left. I assume we didn’t see the light yet because it’s being obstructed by stuff in space, while the gravitational waves didn’t. So i think in a few years the bright star will become a ultra bright supernova.
That’s if all of this is true.
The gravitational waves come before a stars collapse as the light is only created after the implosion. I can't explain it that well
@@_lux_aeterna_ yes unless it blew up 640 years ago...

No no...Thats not how it works. Small stars last for billions of years. Huge stars burn their fuel faster and live much less time- millions of years.
@@SolidSiren as you say, millions of years and not the tens (or hundreds) of thousands that the original theory predicted
@@alfredoprime5495 The star is already around 10 myo.
@@alfredoprime5495 the estimates of a supernova date of 100k to 1 million yrs from now are those values because we have an estimate of how long stars this size typically live. We don't just make these figures up, its based on observations (not of supernovas obviously, but we can estimate their ages based on their mass, volume, and spectrum signatures that tell us what elements the star is burning, stars spend a certain amount of time in main sequence based on mass estimates, and how old clusters/galaxies are based on their physical configuration)

Really hope I get to witness the explosion in my lifetime. To think most people never het to see Haley's Comet, I maybe able to see it twice.

@Toughen Up, Fluffy yea man Hale Bopp's tail of black Nike's and purple shrouds was very colorful!
I was young during Haley's last go around (8 I think) I do remember thinking it was lackluster
Hate to be that guy but Betelgeuse is 642.5 light-years away from Earth, So it would take 642.5 years for the light of Betelgeuse to reach earth. So we are basically seeing Betelgeuse from roughly 642.5 years ago and if it has already gone supernova, it would be seen 632.5 years in the future :(
1Epicsoda yeah, but how far away it is really doesn’t matter. When people r talking about it “right now” it actually MEANS 642.5ya, not this “star date”. So people wondering if it “just” exploded is wondering if it exploded 642.5ya.

Hey i want to say thank you for taking your time to provide this wonderful data
Simply extraordinary, can you imagine this happening in our life time?
It's a statically anomaly just to witness this, it is a remarkable event indeed.
It's not. 100 stars vanished since 2015, why do you think this is? 290k objects were unaccounted for. NASA never went back to the moon. "Soon" they will go to mars? I've seen at least 4 very clear green screen errors in ISS footage with some objects in the foreground on the sides that were permanent when the green screen bugged. I've seen the ISS with my eyes in the nightsky and know about the coriolis effect.
There is the P1000 camera now, it has such a great zoom and you can see buildings 50 miles away. How is this possible? If you do the math you lose 8 inches square per mile. We are being lied to about virtually everything these days (climate, vaccines, dinosaurs, Tartary, dielectricity, ect). Earth axis is 66,6 degrees, it's speed is 666xx miles through space and it's rotating 1666 km/h around its axis. Call me a flattard but I believe it is based on the evidence.

I believe this is the earliest stages of a star going supernova. I hope aspiring astronomers and cosmologists in the coming centuries will be around long enough to document every sequence of this event.
Betelgeuse is 700 light years away. Doesn't that mean that whatever we see happening in our NOW, means it happened 700 years ago ?
Kailem Jones yes but that also would mean that betelgeuse could have exploded hundreds of years ago and we don’t know because we’re looking at 700 year old light.

Rick Redd huh
yeah, but because that star is 640 lightyears away the light must fly 640 years to be visible on earth^
Gravitational waves travel at the speed of light. If Beetlegeuse did explode we may see it soon.
@lucalone what do you want to tell us with that? Most of the people here know that and we are not talking about the actual timing of the explosion, we are talking about the time when we can see it here.
Yes, of course it needs ~600-700 years until we see it after it happened. But what people hope is that it already exploded about that time ago so we could see it soon.
I don't get what so many people of you want to achieve with that comment.
It makes no sense at all to hope that it explodes "now" in the sense of right now. So what people mean with it is that we see the explosion now.
0:53 "with a powerful enough telescope the actual features [of Betelgeuse] will become visible" Anton you are the master of understatement!

Another great video, Anton. Many thanks for the link to the Grace Data Bank.
The Antarctic Neutrino detector should stay tuned because theoretically a neutrino wave will hit us first several hours before the light!
I think the neutrinos would have reached us very close to the same time as the gravitational wave.
Aren't all this stuff traveling at the speed of light(gravity waves, neutrinos, and its normal light)?
@@dreammirrorbrony1240 Gravitational waves are. Neutrinos are slightly slower. But both will be here before the light, because the actual explosion starts in the core of the exploding star. And light can't get out from there quickly. In our sun it takes the photons a very long time to get through all that material. So the light of the explosion will only get out once the star is actually flying apart. By then the gravitational waves and the neutrinos already have a huge headstart of several hours at least.

"RETRACTED. The trigger S200116ah is no longer considered to be a
candidate of interest. The candidate is attributed to non-stationary
noise in the L1 detector."
@Randy HUTCHINSON : Sounds like a press release from LIGO. Gravitational waves can travel faster through some circumstances than light, so they release announcements _before_ they can verify, so that astronomers can try to watch any for interesting stuff while LIGO is being double-checked.
@Randy HUTCHINSON That's what LIGO said, yes. Probably a false positive, and almost certainly nothing to do with Betelgeuse.
Bugger! Spoiled SUCH an observation :(((((((
@Mandrak789 Maybe this should be pinned, or at least added to the video description.

Eta Carinae, Antares. These are, in my opinion, the stars that you should be concerned about. Betelgeuse. A gorgeous show in the sky. And really, really look forward to seeing it!
If light is the speed limit ... how can we detect it exploding without seeing first?
Maybe the star rapidly dims while collapsing into supernova and only gets bright as it's ejecting matter?
Cody Volpe I thought they traveled at the speed of light.
Because light will sometimes be obstructed by some matter in space, for example by a gas, while gravitational waves will not.
Causality is the speed limit not light. They both go hand in hand. E=MC^2. C=Causality not light.
The universe is not empty... Light always takes longer than gravity waves... We will find tomorrow what happened
So Betelgeuse is in between the two regions where the gravitational waves may have come from. Nothing to see here, folks.
Lol, also basing it on the fact they know everything correctly and have not miscalculated any of it like they so often do.
@texxtrek speed of light. nothings faster
Scorch428 Entanglement is faster.
@@CaptainAhorn Speed is irrelevant for entanglement ;) I think even saying that entanglement happens with infinite speed is not necessarily right bcs it happens instantaneously.

I'd be very happy if Betelgeuse hung around for a long time since it's a part of the
Orion nebula which was the first group of stars I was shown by my father so the
longer it stays around the happier I'll be.
But won't it be a fine sight to see something on Orions shoulder as rare as a super nova in our lifetime?
It's not part of the nebula though :)

This is just great
Thank you Anton for the update. I agree with David’s comment about Betelgeuse colliding with a dense (possibly a Jupiter sized) object. I also believe the discrepancy between the position of the gravitational blips and Betelgeuse is due to its movement like a noisy jet flying by -fast and far from the observer. I think the first g-wave detected (the larger of the 2) was a collision with a dense object and the second was the actual supernova. It probably was NOT a coincidence that there was a dimming prior to this event. Just remember the line from the TV show Law and Order : “coincidence times coincidence times coincidence means you’re guilty! Way too many coincidences. Again thanks for the update Anton.
I prefer this lively, enthusiastic, confident version of Anton, as opposed to the current version that sounds like a scared hostage trying to lull kittens to sleep at gunpoint.
I looked today and it ain’t so bright as it usually is.
you're looking at 600 year old light
It has been dimming for a while already
@@carlosandleon All light from Betelgeuse is 600 years old and when we see it explode, it will have exploded 600 years ago
Repeating this over and over anally just confuses people who don't understand and adds nothing
@rockn roll look I know gravitational waves go at the speed of C. But light csn also be slightly more delayed than ut
@@carlosandleon ok, and we are sensing 600 year old gravitational waves. Your point adds nothing to the discussion
There is alot of ifs, theories, nights, assumptions, actually its almost all assumptions including that it was thrown out of that peculiar system.
Great video thanks mate. Subscribed
11:37 PM EST what a pleasant surprise.
Huge bright meteor went over Toronto around an hour ago. I saw it light up the ground then I looked up, it was as bright as the sun!
God Bless
Anton must know me well, for he always begins by saying, "Hello, wonderful person."
Well i think he was actually talking to me, so your out!
Excellent video, thank you bud. Subbed
Very informative! Bravo.

Shoot I knew I shouldn't have eaten them beans 🥴
LIGO tho

I have a theory of what sparks a supernova. Three things control stellar fusion. Heat, pressure and magnetism. Supergiants start producing iron which migrates out and generates it’s own magnetic field. This interferes with the stars main magnetic field undermining it and causing the star to become dangerously unstable.
Subscribed, nice channel very informative
So are we gonna see Orion's tackle when his belt explodes?
JamesXT77
Pay attention! It's his arm, not his belt...
Betelgeuse is Orion's shoulder (or arm, depending on who you ask).
Somebody must have said its name three times.

BEETLE JUICE !!!!
Uh Oh
I've been keeping my kids interested in the night sky and we are very familiar with Betelgeuse. I'd heard a lot lately about it's record low luminosity and last night we finally had a nice clear night. I couldn't even see it. I'm not kidding. The normal spot where we usually see a very noticeable, bright star wasn't even visible to me on a clear cold night. Very interesting.
I saw a flickering Star in Orion a few days ago. First I thought it was a plane or something. But it didn’t move. Betelgeuse was my first thought. Very interesting. I hope this is a sign for the last days.
gravity takes a long time to have information to travel across the star. Even tho light could take hundreds of thousands of years to traverse from the core, the 30 mins it takes a shift in mass to communicate new gravitational vectors is still huge gap of time to result in phenomina.
na, the wave would not only come from core collapse, but also from a "normal" core shrink due to changes in elements being fused. that is because of the mass moved so quickly!
"na" seemed like you were disagreeing about something. I wasnt focused on fusion, but what i think you are saying is an exciting part of the rate of change going on.
Also were you saying that core fusion has a negative pressure on its surroundings? At these distances larger than the orbit of our Earth, I agree about the abrupt shifts, and how that compounds force coming back in on the core. The thing we have a hard time with is auditing the density waves. Maybe study of gravity waves can help.
Could be the two cores finally colliding
@@WPIManiacMagic if you Were Somehow able to go into the center of the earth you would be weightless. So it is possible for masses to be sheared off and somehow isolated and able to build into multiple dense structures. The best thing we can do right now is to model all our guesses which I for one would love to see a gathering of those different ideas and Concepts but unfortunately there's way too much negative criticism inside and outside the scientific community for people that feel comfortable presenting intelligent list of possibilities.
@@FirstNameLastName-okayyoutube most of the star's size isn't very dense at all. Also the star was noted to have a giant bulge ... Wonder if this could be due to that smaller core too.
Either way to me it seems possible if the smaller star was circling the drain for a long time once it skims the big core and rapidly slows to full collision a lot would happen and fast
It doesn’t mean “the arm of Orion “ in Arabic, but it means “ the archer’s bag” where he keeps the arrows on his back . And indeed the name is originally Arabic
Thank you that's very interesting!
N Marbletoe you stole my icon
i thought betelgeuse is a rough translation of "the hand (or shoulder?) of orion (or the giant?)"
Not so. There are two distinct names given to the star by the Islamic astronomers: ibt al-jawza (the armpit of the hunter), or yadd al-jawza (the arm of the hunter). Jawza is the hunter NOT the archer (archer would be "ramee"), and neither ibt or yadd in classical Arabic stand for quiver. The name Jawza, "hunter" originally actually meant a scavenger!!
clarence spencer
It’s also called “makab eljawza” by some Arabs
مكب الجوزاء
Translated to : the hunter’s bag of weapons.
The hunter here is an archer
Great analysis!
Was listening to music and somehow I suddenly hear
"Hello wonderful person!" From my phone ❤️
