Don’t panic! ^^
Betelgeuse is not likely to undergo a supernova explosion anytime soon. The red supergiant star Betelgeuse appears to have finally stopped its unprecedented dimming. It's been brightening in brightness over the last few days.

cf. This comparison image shows the star Betelgeuse before and after its unprecedented dimming. The observations, taken with the SPHERE instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope(VLT) in January and December 2019, show how much the star has faded and how its apparent shape has changed. Betelgeuse's dramatic fading may be due either a cooling of the surface or dust ejected by the star in our direction. Credit: ESO/M. Montargès et al.
