"Betelgeuse — the second brightest star in the constellation of Orion (the Hunter) — is a red supergiant, one of the biggest stars known, and almost 1000 times larger than our Sun [1]. It is also one of the most luminous stars known, emitting more light than 100 000 Suns. Such extreme properties foretell the demise of a short-lived stellar king. With an age of only a few million years, Betelgeuse is already nearing the end of its life and is soon doomed to explode as a supernova. When it does, the supernova should be seen easily from Earth, even in broad daylight." - Michael McKean

This is the most ambiguous sentence ever: "This artist's impression shows the supergiant star Betelgeuse as it was revealed thanks to different state-of-the-art techniques on ESO's Very Large Telescope." So... this is an artist's impression of a photograph? - Kevin Fox

I was hoping to see some real science photography, but it's likely the impression is based off of the way scientists described tabular data to the artist; almost like a police sketch. - Mark Trapp

"Artists' impressions" always disappoint me. - Michael McKean
