Answer:
Explanation:Betelgeuse is the brightest star in Orion and marks the
western shoulder of the constellation. It is the largest of the
known stars. Betelgeuse emits almost 7,500 times as much
energy as the Sun. The combination of size and temperature
tells astronomers that the star is a kind of star called a red
super giant. Red super giants are stars that are close to the
end of their life. Probably within the next ten to hundred
thousand years Betelgeuse will end its life in a supernova
explosion.
