Examples
Betelgeuse is Earth’s closest red supergiant star, a late phase of the stellar life cycle that comes before a supernova explosion.
That could be one way that red supergiants shed material before exploding.
Betelgeuse is just one of the many aging, massive stars — called red supergiants — that could go supernova at any moment.
