The star Betelgeuse has dimmed notably since mid-October to it's lowest recorded level. It was in the top 10 brightest stars, but now is somewhere around 21st-22nd.
It's getting better... so no boom today.
Just as a follow up, no article, but it looked pretty bright tonight to me. I looked it up and, well, it looks like Betelgeuse is back up to magnitude 0.5 or so. You can see on that plot there are a lot more obs after the dimming got really noticeable.
