As one of the brightest and largest known stars, it typically ranks as the tenth brightest star in the night sky. Betelgeuse is about 700 times larger than our Sun, with a diameter that would extend past Jupiter’s orbit if placed in our solar system. #Astronomy #Betelgeuse | The Galactic Void | Facebook
