is the end of beetle Jews near there's no doubt that this massive star will one day make its exit in a spectacular explosion but some researchers believe this Cosmic event Could Happen much sooner than anticipated what implications does this have for us could the resulting Supernova throw our planet into turmoil and why is Orion shoulder star currently displaying behavior that has astronomers scratching their heads when we think of the sun it often represents the ultimate standard in the cosmos unmatched by any other Celestial body in our daily perception this is true within our solar system with a diameter of about 1.4 million km the sun easily dwarfs all its planetary Neighbors in fact the Earth could fit inside the sun over 1.3 million times in practice however our Central Star begins to shrink further and further when we compare it with other Galactic Giants located in the constellation nor Beetle Juice trumps are fix star in Every conceivable astronomical respect in detail the Giant star which is internationally known as Beetle Juice has a diameter 800 times that of the Sun in this constellation the sun is transformed into a tiny pin head that would fit 500,000 times in the shoulder star of Orion the differences in Luminosity are no less extreme Beetlejuice shines 10,000 times brighter than our source of heat and life as a result it's even possible to see the celestial body which is around 650 light years years away from Earth in a night sky with a naked eye if you are in the northern hemisphere during the winter it is practically impossible to miss the red super giant and not just since yesterday in fact Beetle juu was already mentioned 2,000 years ago as a yellow orange glowing dot in the firmament but like all other objects in the universe Beetle Juice is not a fixed unchanging object quite the opposite the determination of its radius using interferometry revealed that it fluctuates by around 15% interesting to note Beetle juices radius was the first to be determined using this measurement method the bottom line is that the fluctuations are by no means limited to the radius they also affect the brightness accordingly a visible change in Luminosity occurs every 270 days a phenomenon that is in turn due to the late stage of development in which Beetle Juice now finds itself in principle red super Giants have the characteristic of expanding and Contracting again whereby this pulsation is directly linked to the fluctuation in brightness however a few years ago experts were made acutely aware of just how drastic and above all how puzzling this spectacle can be sometimes an inexplicable interplay back then in October 2019 a process began that ultimately led to an extreme reduction in luminosity in February 2020 this was no longer even 40% of its average initial value since the beginning of astronomical studies Beetlejuice had never shown so faintly after experts became aw Ware of this mysterious event they immediately tried to decipher the reasons behind it some researchers attributed the loss of Luminosity to overlapping brightness Cycles considering it a normal occurrence however other experts feared that this could be a sign of something far more dramatic an imminent Supernova typically a star approaching a supernova under goes a significant expansion and a noticeable decrease in brightness yet since no star has been observed directly before a supernova it's uncertain whether the dimming happens several years or just a few hours before the event what is certain though is that Beetle juw will eventually explode based on our current understanding the red super giant is expected to remain stable for the foreseeable future with the final Supernova likely occurring around 1.5 million years from now however other researchers have set a much tighter time frame and estimate that Beetle Juice will disappear from the space Maps within the next 100,000 years after Beetle Juice literally shown again in its former glory in April 2020 scientists were able to uncover the cause of the DraStic drop in brightness in August of the same year observations from the Hubble Space Telescope revealed that the star had ejected a gigantic cloud of hot dense material this then cooled down condensed into dust and shielded the emitted Starlight due to the cosmic dust Veil it appeared from our terrestrial point of view as if the celestial body had dramatically lost its Luminosity now that an explanation for the past development had finally been found it did not take long for the star to come up with another mystery since 2023 Beetlejuice has been shining much brighter than usual what happens when Beetlejuice explodes regardless of whether Beetlejuice will explode soon or many thousands of years from now one thing is certain as soon as the red super giant transforms into a supernova we will once again be impressively reminded of the elemental forces at work in the universe as mentioned Beetle Juice already shines 10,000 times brighter than the sun but the researchers are expecting a 16,000 fold increase in Luminosity for its explosive Stellar death while some experts assume that the brightness of the star will then be comparable to that of the Crescent Moon at night others believe that it will correspond to the Luminosity of the full moon in any case the Supernova would be impossible to miss from Earth but what will the brute spectacle mean for our blue home planet will the earth possibly be wiped out along with its inhabitants well fortunately it's not quite that dramatic basically the concern with such constellations is that the Gamay explosion that will accompany the Supernova will also affect the Earth in the case of beetle juu however the experts are giving the all clear as the star's axis of rotation does not point in the direction of our terrestrial home the Gamay burst will not be intense enough to have a negative impact on our planet what is particularly exciting however is the fact that there may even be two flashes after the explosion of the Stars core the eject material could collide with the static shell that surrounds the red super giant at some distance and this subsequent Collision would also manifest itself in the form of an explosion that would be visible from our blue home planet but what will be left at the end of this thunderous spectacle will the former Viewpoint of Beetle Juice henceforth be adorned by a yawning void well most probably not as is typical for stars of this size this Supernova is also likely to result in the birth of a neutron star a neutron star that is 20 times the mass of the on is Beetle Juice spinning too fast the neutron stars in question are known above all for their unparalleled rotational speed in 2004 researchers even tracked down a representative that rotates 716 times on its own axis within a single second and although beetle juu is still a long way from being an insanely rotating Stellar Remnant its rotational behavior is already puzzling astronomers in detail the images taken by the radio telescopes of the alma observatory in chil suggests that Beetle Juice is rotating unusually fast in fact the star rotates much faster than it should with a speed of more than 5 km/s its rotational speed is about 50 times higher than would be normal for a red super giant as a rule Stars actually rotate more slowly the further they expand and Beetlejuice is the only known star of its kind that is thought to rotate so quickly but what is it all about well one possible explanation is that her eye and shoulder star has literally swallowed itself up up according to this it is conceivable that Beetle Juice has incorporated a smaller star during its rearing up what sounds quite crazy at first is not uncommon in reality because massive stars are known to regularly interact with their close companions theoretically the Stellar digestion could have transferred the angular momentum of the swallowed star to the outer shell of Beetlejuice thus increasing its rotational speed however if we follow the explanations of Jing Z ma from the max plank Institute for astrophysics and garching near unic things could actually be quite different beetlejuice's surface is bustling with massive bubbles of plasma moving up and down due to convection currents and this is where the core of the issue lies scientists have estimated the star's rotation speed by observing its bipolar surface structure one half of its visible surface shows a blue shift while the other half shows a red shift of several km/s however the movement of these convection currents can also cause red and blue shifts in the radio emissions if a large convection bubble or a group of them moves towards the Observer while another moves away it can create a bipolar velocity field this phenomenon could make a non-rotating star appear as if it's spinning at a Breakneck speed future research is needed to determine how accurately this Theory reflexs reality scientists are optimistic that higher resolution Alma images will help solve the rotation mystery initial observations have already been made but the data is still under analysis thank you for watching another episode of my channel if you enjoyed this video please like subscribe and hit the notification Bell for updates on more
