The video discusses Beetlejuice, a red supergiant star visible as Orion's left shoulder. It's cooler than most stars but has a massive diameter. Beetlejuice is expected to explode in a supernova, though this could take thousands of years. The video explains the lifecycle of massive stars, focusing on nuclear fusion and the transition to a supernova.
