GREENBELT, Md., Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Betelgeuse, a star in the constellation Orion, appears to be headed for a crash with a cosmic "wall" in 5,000 years, European astronomers say.
A new image from the Herschel Space Observatory -- a European Space Agency mission with NASA participation -- reveals the shedding, aging star is located near an odd, linear bar of some sort of cosmic material, a NASA release reported Wednesday.
