Astronomers have observed what they believe to be a never-before-seen companion star orbiting Betelgeuse, a pulsating red supergiant star in the shoulder of the Orion constellation. One of the best ...
But this orbital dance has a darker future. Over time, tidal forces continue to drain energy from Siwarha’s orbit, pulling it closer to the red supergiant. Eventually, the smaller star will spiral ...
Betelgeuse's companion star is 1.5 times larger than the sun. But all of that extra attention has led to another remarkable find. As it turns out, Betegeuse isn’t alone—it actually has a nearby ...
Astronomers use the Gemini North telescope in Hawaii to capture an image of a companion star orbiting Betelgeuse. - International Gemini Observatory / NOIRLab / NSF / AURA / J. Chu Red supergiant star ...
Astronomers have confirmed the existence of a companion star in a tight orbit around Betelgeuse, resolving a long-standing mystery about the star’s varying brightness. Reading time 2 minutes In 2024, ...
Astronomers have used a novel technique to find evidence of a secret "buddy" star orbiting Betelgeuse, one of the brightest objects in the night sky — but this sun-size companion may not survive for ...
