Dying Star Betelgeuse Spews Fiery Nebula

astroengine writes "Betelgeuse is dying a nasty death. The star is in the final, violent stages of its life, shedding vast amounts of stellar material into space as it quickly approaches a supernova demise. But now, with the help of the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, Betelgeuse's extended nebula has come to light. Comprised of silica and alumina dust, ESO astronomers have been able to image the nebula in infrared wavelengths for the first time. This is the most detailed view we've ever had of the imminent death of a titanic red supergiant star."

      From a statical and historical perspective, we've been in an unseasonably long drought of supernovas throughout the sky in general. There may be some reasons for that which can be speculated based upon some theories for the position of our sun through the Milky Way, but it could be like tossing a coin ten times in a row and getting heads all of the time. Several supernovas have been visible to the naked eye in the past, including a couple that could even be seen during the day or even bright enough to cast a shadow (you could see) at night.

      The interesting thing about Betelgeuse is that it has already been a fairly well studied star for some time, in part because it is "relatively" close and one of the brighter stars in our night sky even without it going nova. I guarantee that if it would go supernova, it would be something that would be heavily studied.

      That said, a really close supernova (within 1000 light-years) would likely cause some fits for many astronomers because their telescopes would be too sensitive to be able to accurately do much in terms of photographing the actual supernova. A supernova like SN 1987A is generally much more preferred as you can use high power telescopes where the light doesn't overwhelm the instruments yet the object can still be studied in some considerable detail.

      An interesting list of supernova candidates is on the wiki where it is noted several stars that are anticipated to go supernova in the next million years or so. It is certainly an interesting list of stars, of which Betelgeuse is on that list.

Of course, relying on context to disambiguate your modifiers is a serious disservice to your readers, and most grade school teachers (who believe in a far more rigid and Platonic version of English than the one that actually exists) would call it wrong, but, in fact, it's merely lame.

      I still prefer this sort of dangling modifier to the awkwardness that results from using ambiguous verbs in sentences like "BP caps ruptured well, but more hurdles remain" or "May axes labour police beat pledge", even though Miss Thistlebottom would be hard-pressed to find a rules-based objection to these.
