Originally a member of a high-mass multiple system within Ori OB1a, Betelgeuse was probably formed about 10–12 million years ago, [158] but has evolved rapidly due to its high mass. [106] H. Bouy and J. Alves suggested in 2015 that Betelgeuse may instead be a member of the newly discovered Taurion OB association. [159]
Models indicate that even rapidly rotating main-sequence stars should be braked by their mass loss so that red supergiants hardly rotate at all. Those red supergiants such as Betelgeuse that do have modest rates of rotation may have acquired it after reaching the red supergiant stage, perhaps through binary interaction. The cores of red ...
Betelgeuse is one of the best-known stars in the night sky, as well as the easiest to find. New examinations of this behemoth star suggest it is both smaller — and closer — than astronomers ...
As of 2023, several hundred giant planets have been discovered around giant stars. [23] However, these giant planets are more massive than the giant planets found around solar-type stars. This could be because giant stars are more massive than the Sun (less massive stars will still be on the main sequence and will not have become giants yet ...
An asteroid will briefly eclipse Betelgeuse, a bright star in the Orion constellation, causing it to disappear from view for those in a narrow strip of the globe. ... 82 winter activities for kids ...
The Winter Triangle is an astronomical asterism formed from three of the brightest stars in the winter sky. It is an imaginary isosceles triangle [a] drawn on the celestial sphere, with its defining vertices at Sirius, Betelgeuse, and Procyon, the primary stars in the three constellations of Canis Major, Orion, and Canis Minor, respectively.

The larger northern Winter Hexagon includes seven of the twenty-two first-magnitude stars visible in the sky, with Pollux, Capella, Aldebaran, Rigel, Sirius and Procyon, and with the 2nd-magnitude Castor on the periphery, and Betelgeuse off-center. [4] Adding Betelgeuse then it is known as the Heavenly 'G'. [5]
The most disturbing Beetlejuice Beetlejuice element for kids — and parents — may be how it includes the trope of pregnancy in horror movies. When Ryder’s character Lydia comes face-to-face ...
