Now, scientists are predicting it will almost disappear from view altogether, albeit briefly, on December 12.

Scientists predict a passing asteroid named 319 Leona will block Betelgeuse's view from Earth for up to five seconds – in the same way as the moon eclipses the sun.

Check your local time zones. It's Dec 11th for many. I think about 8pm Dec 11 for EST Americas
