🪐 When astronomers observe a star like Betelgeuse in the constellation Orion, the light reaching Earth has traveled 642 years—limited by the constant speed of light, which is 299,792 kilometers per second. This means we never see stars as they are now, but as they were centuries or even millennia ago, so every starlit night is filled with messages from the deep past of our universe. ✨

Памяти Дарьи Дугиной. Кавер на Beteleuse и DASEIN MAY REFUSE. Качество lo-fi, зато с душой и сердцем. С любовью, ВорКоров и Саша Темнолесова.
🪐 Betelgeuse, a red supergiant star about 642 light-years from Earth, is nearing the end of its life and will eventually explode as a supernova—a titanic stellar explosion. Supernovae like this release more energy in a few weeks than our Sun will in its entire 10-billion-year lifespan, scattering heavy elements like iron and gold into space to help form new stars and planets. ✨
