Asteroid to Pass in Front of Bright Star Betelgeuse in December 2023
Scientists have recently announced that an asteroid will pass in front of the bright star Betelgeuse, and we couldn’t be more excited! On December 28th, 2023, the asteroid will block out Betelgeuse’s light for an estimated five seconds, allowing us to get a glimpse of the star’s size, shape and brightness. This event will be visible to the naked eye and will be the first of its kind in over 600 years. Scientists hope that this event will provide valuable new information about our universe. So mark your calendars and get ready to witness a truly incredible event!
