"Uncle I've read the Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy.. and say... where is Betelgeuse?"

Kind of amazing that we have recent popular literature which mentions a star and assumes it is a permanent fixture in the sky, when that star might explode within our lifetime. 🤯

Of course we also have star charts from the middle ages that show stars that can't be found in the sky today. 🤷🤔
