Hey Storm2Come!
Just wondered if you had come across the article today
that they have CONFIRMED that the star in Orion's constellation
--Betelegeuse--has had a "traumatic eruption" which they
believe explains why the star has had a "dimming" event
(due to the gasses and debris cloaking the star's light.)
I'm wondering if this is part of the "micro-nova-in-series'
Vogt speaks to.
Let me know if you can find anything. The article I can
reference is so short it isn't even worth putting up...but
what I have typed already is what the article said. It was
from "Discover" magazine.
