Betelgeuse Has a Companion

Betelgeuse Has a Companion

The existence of a companion star to Betelgeuse, the red supergiant in Orion, has been confirmed. This blue-white star, larger than our Sun, was discovered using the Gemini North telescope and the "speckle imaging" technique. The companion orbits very close to Betelgeuse, explaining its six-year luminosity cycle. The next observation is scheduled for November 2027.

Now, the Elite Dangerous star catalog needs to be updated.

Are you kidding me? Holy crapith! I don't have the time right now to investigate the facts. A class A star? I want to know its orbit distance. What what what whaaat! lol Betelgeuse, the star that no one seems to be able to figure oot how far away it is, i've heard everything from 600lyrs to 33klyrs, and when it dimmed back in 2019(?) i proposed that it's just dust between us, or matter from ejection, (from observation by a laymen) I was bawked at by astronomers on youtube, yes real astronomers, and why I was wrong because they investigated that theory, just for 3 months later said astronomers and their colleagues stated- it was dust between us and the star. Possibly from coronal ejection. Did I get an affirmation or apology, no, of course not, what the heck do I know. lol The other thing I don't agree with the astronomers- it will not go nova, it will just fade away and become a white dwarf. It's basically what Sol will become in about 10 to 14 billion years. Not 8 billion.
