The red supergiant star Betelgeuse was captured by the Herschel Space Observatory. There are only two nearby stars that could go supernova within the next million years or so: Antares and Betelgeuse.

but the good news is there are only two nearby stars that could go supernova within the next million years or so: Antares and Betelgeuse. However, both of these are more than 500 light-years away ...
