MOTHER EARTH & SPACE NEWS - Betelgeuse Brightening, Storms, The Climate Stories | News Feb.27.2020
Betelgeuse is a favourite of stargazers worldwide. At a relatively close 220 parsecs (700 light years) from the Sun, the red supergiant — a large but relatively cool-burning type of star — has also been a boon for astronomers. Although its mass is just a dozen times that of the Sun, its dimensions are gigantic: if Betelgeuse were in the centre of the Solar System, it might engulf all the planets up to Jupiter.
As a consequence, it is one of the few stars that can be imaged in detail from Earth, as opposed to appearing as a single, unresolved dot of light. After a mysterious four-month fading streak, the star known as Betelgeuse could be on its way to regaining its shine.
Easily recognizable as the right ‘shoulder’ in the constellation Orion, Betelgeuse is normally one of the ten brightest stars in the night sky. But it began getting dimmer in October last year, and by mid-February it had lost more than two-thirds of its brilliance — a difference noticeable to the naked eye. But the star has now brightened by around 10% from its dimmest point, says Edward Guinan, an astrophysicist at Villanova University outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, whose team has been tracking it for 25 years.
“For now, it looks like it’s bottoming out,” says Andrea Dupree, an astronomer at the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “But who knows, maybe it will cough and go back down again.” A group of amateur and professional astronomers called the American Association of Variable Star Observers, also based in Cambridge, has also documented the upswing.
Meanwhile back on Earth, we have beautiful sunshine today in Southern Spain with 21 Centigrade and 46% humidity. Wind: 19 KPH SW.

Hi Kaminchan!
Ah yes they could help... but like us to learn for ourselves! - Like in "Star Trek": The "Prime Directive" applies particularly to civilizations which are below a certain threshold of technological, scientific and cultural development; preventing starship crews from using their superior technology to impose their own values or ideals on them.
keep well =D
Oh! Yes! I remember this film very well!!
At least I would ask for their help, they can say ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Actually I would plead for their compassionate intervention!
Crazy me!
