What's happening to Betelgeuse? It's faded to an all-time low, which got people wondering if it was about to go supernova. It isn't, but something very strange is happening to the red supergiant star Betelgeuse and nobody is sure why. Betelgeuse in Orion is about to go supernova, but probably not for up to 100,000 years. In the meantime, why is it so dim?
