🌟Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star and one of the brightest stars in the night sky.
💫The fate of Betelgeuse depends on its mass and how much material it sheds.
⭐️Stars with a mass between 10 to 25 times that of the Sun can become either neutron stars or black holes.
🌌The amount of mass Betelgeuse sheds before its core collapses will determine its fate.
🔎Further measurements and understanding of Betelgeuse's mass and lifecycle are needed to determine if it will become a black hole.
Will Betelgeuse turn into a black hole?
—The fate of Betelgeuse, whether it will become a black hole or not, is uncertain due to its mass and the amount of material it sheds. Further measurements and understanding of its current state are needed.
