    There was a period around a year ago for several months where we didn’t know what was going on with Betelgeuse dramatically dimming unexpectedly, and we thought it might go out within our lifetime. But yeah, we’ve explained that about 4 zeroes back since earlier this year I think.

      Ah, gotcha. Yeah, they did mention the dimming. That would be an amazing sight to see a star as large as Betelgeuse going supernova though.
