Betelgeuse, the red supergiant star, has been fading significantly and some astronomers have speculated that the red supergiant would soon explode as a massive supernova. In a new study, researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara have prepared a model to show what it will look like when the star dies in a stellar explosion called a supernova. Researchers have assumed this massive explosion is expected to happen within the next 100,000 years. The modeling shows that the entire red supergiant star vibrates at the same time i.e when the star ends its life, it will act as though it were a static star with a given radius. This indicates that the supernova models for stars like Betelgeuse resemble the models that do not account for pulsation.
