Impressively, capturing an image of Betelbuddy was only the start of the discoveries. The researchers had anticipated the ...

Betelgeuse is a colossal star that shines brilliantly in the constellation Orion, approximately 600 light-years from Earth. Immense and unstable, this red supergiant is in the final stages of its ...

The implications stretch beyond Betelgeuse. Binary star pairs are typically thought to have similar masses, but Betelgeuse is ...

With the aid of the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have identified the cause of Betelgeuse's 2019 dimming: an unfathomably large Surface Mass ...

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 ...

Observations by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope are showing that the unexpected dimming of the supergiant star Betelgeuse was most likely caused by an immense amount of hot material ejected into space, ...

Betelgeuse, the brilliant red star marking Orion's shoulder, has long been suspected of harboring a secret. I have to confess ...

Betelgeuse is one of the night sky's brightest stars and easily can be observed from Earth with the naked eye. Its fluctuations in brightness have long puzzled astronomers, however. Now, researchers ...

Luckily, the Hubble was observing the star, and the new study revealed that Betelgeuse had actually expelled “an immense amount of hot material” from its surface. As that material traveled millions of ...

By combining Webb’s infrared data with older Hubble Space Telescope images, scientists traced the explosion, known as ...

The dimming of Betelgeuse seen at the end of 2019 and the start of 2020 explained — the red giant star “sneezed.” Betelgeuse dimmed in the final few months of 2019, perplexing both professional and ...
