Here's why:

* Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star located in the constellation Orion. It's a very large and bright star, but it's also very far away.

* The closest star to Earth is the Sun, which is a mere 8 light-minutes away.

* Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our solar system, located about 4.24 light-years away.

Betelgeuse is much, much farther away than both of these stars.
