Trace Dominguez | A GIANT Star Could Explode ANY DAY (feat. Sarafina Nance) @TraceDominguez | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 8 minutes ago
Betelgeuse WAS the 10th brightest star in the sky, does this dimming mean part of Orion is going to explode? 🌠 This episode was supported by Nebula!

Stars are born, they get old, and they die and every century one will explode into an incredible #supernova! I talked to Sarafina Nance at University of California, Berkeley about why #Betelgeuse is dimming, when it’s going to explode, what that might look like, and what will happen. Join our astronomy club and go look at one of the sky's most famous stars!

😘 SPECIAL THANKS TO…
Sarafina Nance for taking time out of her busy schedule to look for a lost SD audio card that was never found, and also for letting me ask her nerdy questions for an hour. ❤️

🐣 EASTER EGGS
P.S —Sarafina and I met on Twitter because of our mutual love of space and science. She has been super popular on the internet as of late, because last year she realized that within her DNA was a gene called BRCA. BRCA genes are associated with extremely high risk of breast cancer, and one way to lessen that cancer risk is to remove all breast tissue — WHICH. SHE. DID. She got a double mastectomy at 26 years old to prevent future breast cancers. It’s amazing. She’s a queen.

P.P.S — Now, not only does Sarafina talk publicly about supernovas, astrophysics, and STEM, but about cancer, BRCA, breast surgery, mastectomies, and be a cancer “previvor” as she calls it. Go follow her and learn you some things!

I just wanted to say one last thank you for supporting me on this science communication journey! 💖 I literally could not do this without you. - #tracedominguez
