The 2019 dip in Betelgeuse taught us how supernovae form.<br />By checking all the supernovae and supernovae remnants crossings, we discovered that the rays of the star SN1054 will cross the star Antares.<br />But, not knowing the exact distances, we cannot calculate the crossing and the probable explosion.<br /><br />Someone came to our aid: the brightness trend of Betelgeuse before 2019 is very similar to that of Antares.<br />Almost all the peaks and minimums match. By following the graph, we deduce that Antares, if it follows this brightness trend, should explode in December 2026.<br />Another confirmation has arrived in these last few months: in March 2024, the brightness data was not available but it had been published on the website.<br />After just 6 months, the new curves were exactly the same as those of Betelgeuse before the great dip in brightness.<br /><br />Further confirmation that the star will likely explode as a supernova.
