Poor Betelgeuse can't catch a break. Every time this red supergiant star dims slightly, astronomers and media outlets practically throw a supernova watch party. The meme perfectly captures the star's perspective—a glowing SpongeBob skeleton sarcastically saying "You just can't wait for me to die, can you?" Meanwhile, astronomers are sitting at their telescopes with popcorn, hoping to witness the celestial equivalent of a fireworks finale. Truth is, Betelgeuse could explode tomorrow or 100,000 years from now. Stellar death-watching might be the longest stakeout in scientific history.
