Current calculations estimate that the Betelbuddy has a mass of 1.17 times that of the Sun and orbits Betelgeuse at a distance 2.43 times the star’s radius, equivalent to roughly 1850 solar radii.

so could Betelgeuse, but on a different scale. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope appeared to confirm that a “burp” from within Betelguse produced a mass ejection of material that became a dust ...

The story describes Betelgeuse as “the red giant that marks Orion’s left shoulder.” Reader Chris Jespersen wrote: “I often see Betelgeuse on Orion’s right shoulder…. Am I mistaken?” ...

A team led by astrophysicist Jing-Ze Ma of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Germany has found that Betelgeuse's ...

Al Jabbar is one of the Arabic names for Orion, the “Hunter", one of winter's most conspicuous constellations.

This figure shows measurements of Betelgeuse's brightness from different observatories from late 2018 to present. The blue and green points represent data from ground-based observatories.

According to NASA, that can only happen to stars about eight times the mass of our sun ... in our Milky Way galaxy since the 17th century. Betelgeuse will inevitably explode as a supernova ...
