Betelgeuse being dimmer does not mean supernova likely

The transcript discusses the recent dimming of Beetlejuice, a star in the Orion constellation, and speculates on its potential to go supernova. While some suggest it may be due to the star running out of fuel, astronomers believe it is more likely a natural variation in brightness. Beetlejuice is a massive star, over 1000 times larger than the sun, with a radius that could encompass the inner planets of our solar system. The dimming is considered the most significant in the past 50 years, but still a short period in the star's lifespan.
