The diminution in Betelgeuse's apparent size equates to a range of values between 56.0 ± 0.1 mas seen in 1993 to 47.0 ± 0.1 mas seen in 2008—a contraction of almost 0.9 AU in 15 years. [57] The observed contraction is generally believed to be a variation in just a portion of the extended atmosphere around Betelgeuse, and observations at ...
Originally, Betelgeuse was to call at Sines, Portugal, to lighten the load of the ship, but poor weather conditions prevented the vessel from entering the harbour. Plans were further frustrated at Leixões, where a ship had run aground across the harbour entrance, preventing Betelgeuse from berthing there to discharge her cargo.
The Orion region showing the red supergiant Betelgeuse. Red supergiants are rare stars, but they are visible at great distance and are often variable so there are a number of well-known naked-eye examples: Antares A; Betelgeuse; Epsilon Pegasi; Zeta Cephei; Lambda Velorum; Eta Persei; 31 and 32 Cygni; Psi 1 Aurigae; 119 Tauri
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 ...
In late 2019 and early 2020, Betelgeuse blew its top. Literally. Around that time the famous bright star marking the right shoulder of Orion suddenly started dimming, dropping to about half its ...
Beetlejuice is an American dark fantasy comedy horror media franchise that originated with the film Beetlejuice (1988). The franchise centers around a devious trickster entity named Betelgeuse (after Betelgeuse the star), who can either be summoned or banished by saying his name three times.
These parameters are all consistent with those estimated for Betelgeuse. [11] The initial mass of Mu Cephei has been estimated from its position relative to theoretical stellar evolutionary tracks to be between 15 M ☉ and 25 M ☉. [11] [15] The star currently has a mass loss rate of (4.9 ± 1.0) × 10 −7 M ☉ per year. [11]
The Aldebaran saga is divided into 7 cycles: Aldebaran and its sequels Betelgeuse, Antares, Survivors, Return to Aldebaran, Neptune and Bellatrix. Each cycle is composed of two to six albums, and each corresponds to a different planet. Although it is possible to read the cycles separately, they are chronological to form a coherent whole.
