    Orion’s shoulder (betelguise) should explode any day now though.

    I’m sorry, What?

    Wait, is this something we won’t be able to see until like 300 years after it happens? Or do we just say it’s name three times?

      I think it’s a few thousand light years away, but yes, it could have already happened.

      say it’s name 3 times backwards will summon the demon called de.

      The latest news that I’ve seen is that it won’t explode for tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. It’s predicted that in the next 300 years it’ll run out of fuel leading to collapse.
