To Bellatrix (R.A. 05h 25m 07.86s, Dec. +06° 20’ 58.9”), 250 light years away, Betelgeuse (R.A. 05h 55m 10.3s, Dec. +07° 24’ 25”), 400-600 light years away, and Rigel (R.A. 05h 14m 32.3s, Dec. -08° 12’ 06”), 860 light years away,
For how ever long you burn, I hope you fuel the stars as you collapse. I hope you collapse and join the ever burning stars and expand.
I tried to encapsulate your presences in these capsules. I hope this makes you content. I am unsure whether this shows my genuine care for you but I hope it comes across light years from now.
I do not wish to interfere with you, I only ever want you to be remembered in the purest form I could conceive of.
I do not wish to mediate, if someone at sometime makes the choice in opening these capsules and your essence is lost, I hope the very essence they release imbues a fellow star and thereby honouring you.
For whoever and whenever witnessing your supernova event, I hope you are and can be well.

Each time capsule is engraved with the name of the star, the estimated time of death (if known), and the location of the star. There is a detailed constellation map engraved in the interior and an approximation map on the exterior plug. All 3 stars of each individual time capsule is part of Orion’s Belt and they are all predicted to have a level IIb supernova event which could mean they will become black holes. The time capsules hold stardust produced from each respective supernovas, carrying matter that is hundreds of light years away, from events that have not yet happened. It holds matter that is physically inconceivable to us and have not yet reached our perceivable time. But if someone turns the valve and create an airway, that inconceivable matter will escape and could fuel neighbouring stars.
There is nothing here but a mere act of trust. I have no evidence otherwise to prove I did so and there are only arbitrary things that point to the possibility of the act. I only wish to do right by the stars and for whoever comes across what I have made to hold the same amount of care and sincerity as I do. Time Capsules for Dying Stars (Bellatrix, Betelgeuse, Rigel) has no physical evidence outside of basic factual information about a star, it is unaddressed to anyone, and each capsules’ only aim is to preserve the essence of a star. To do anything else felt as though I would be intruding and sincerity would be lost.
