Betelgeuse has been changing its brightness again of late. It is now 7th brightest star in the sky up from its normal 10th place. This is in contrast to 2019 when it was dimming. As much I would really like the show, it does not look like it is going to blow anytime soon. They are suggesting it will finally settle down in several years.
What a tease!
