Betelgeuse continues to fall in brightness, 2 months ago it was the 10th brightest star in the sky, as of December 28 it had dropped to number 21. Nobody seems to know if that means anything important but it's certainly odd.

It is curious. It does make one leap to the prospect the star is running down. However, because of the time it takes photons to scatter out this dimming, if due to fusion rate, occurred 10 s of thousands of years ago.

It's an omen of an impending evil that point's to Trump's reelection.

More likely just a superposition of cycle minima.  See if it starts to brightened by February 2020.
