Remember when our fav red supergiant that refuses to go supernova dimmed in 19-20?

Well now, another colossal star - RW Cephei - has been caught in the act, dimming significantly (1/3 brightness!) likely caused by an eruption of gas that cooled to dust. 👀

I know lots of folks don’t want Betelgeuse to go supernova because it would ruin Orion - a constellation that humans have observed since the beginning times, and I feel this too.

But I need a ‘local’ supernova in my lifetime.

So RW Cephei will do. Also, hurry TF up Eta Carinae. We’re waiting.

Was up late pouring last night pouring over organizing my #vinyl collection and just wanted to share the crown jewel of my treasures here. I'll never part with this one and am still so impressed with the quality of the box set. Maybe y'all would want to see more?
