Even if you are not able to meet your beloved on 14th February, then both of you just look up at the night sky and feel each other's presence in that rosy star. \ You would just have to move to a safe, low-lit place around 8:30 PM. Don't [enter an area](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/42756/if-you-lived-in-philadelphia-in-the-late-1780s-what-is-the-fewest-number-of-miles-you-would-have-to-travel-to-enter-an-area-that-opposed-ratifying-the-constitution) where the high buildings could hamper [your view](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/36932/what-is-your-view-opinion-about-sonu-nigam-s-tweet-about-azaan). It's best to catch a glimpse of the star from your terrace. #### How the Kakshi will look like? This star is [called as](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/471/why-is-white-box-testing-called-as-glass-box-testing) **Kakshi** in India. On facing Southwards you will find Orion constellations made up of seven stars, including three stars in a row and four stars forming a rectangle surrounding it. Focusing on the star at the upper left corner of the rectangle, you will find a Betelgeuse shining with red colour hue just like that of rose. ![2021 Valentine](https://www.mindstick.com/usernews/595722/ccdfffd9-40c1-4847-9446-518031c994c5/images/1eca7ee5-14b3-465c-bcfa-30ccec2d31ec.jpeg)\ Let me also acknowledge you with some amazing facts associated with the star. It is 700 times bigger than Sun. If the red star would have its place in [our solar system](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/35770/which-is-the-second-largest-moon-in-our-solar-system) it would have engulfed Earth and even the orbits of Jupiter. But don't worry, it is 500 to 600 light-years away from Earth. According to the belief of some scientists, the light of the star is blocked because it threw some of its outer material into space. It is also supposed to explode as a supernova which depends on the [celestial body](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/115151/what-specific-type-of-celestial-body-did-nasa-s-near-shoemaker-mission-orbit-first)’s internal pressure. If that is certain, then it will display like a bright moon in the night sky. However, a new study conducted by the [international team](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/48011/which-country-has-won-most-number-of-times-the-davis-cup-the-international-team-champuonship-for-men) of scientists at the **Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe** says that the red giant has 100,000 years for explosion as it is still in its early core helium-burning phase. Also, its brightness might be a result of stellar pulsations (expansion and contracts in the outer layer) and dust clouds. **Read More:** [**Facebook's twining with Clubhouse**](https://www.mindstick.com/news/358/facebook-s-twinning-with-clubhousep) --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/news/361/2021-valentine-s-day-will-have-a-secret-star Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
