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. Betelgeuse was then instructed to sail for Whiddy Island. [2] She first put in at Vigo, Spain, to change some of her crew, and then sailed for Whiddy Island on 30 December 1978.
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 ...
This image, like earlier pictures, contained a bright patch indicating a region in the southwestern quadrant 2,000 K hotter than the stellar surface. [53] Subsequent ultraviolet spectra taken with the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph suggested that the hot spot was one of Betelgeuse's poles of rotation.
Experts say the star is recovering from a “never-before-seen” surface mass ejection that caused it to dim.
Astronomers pointed powerful telescopes at the red giant star Betelgeuse, confirming theories that the star had not almost exploded a few years ago, but it did experience a dimming event.
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
Just like the mischievous Tim Burton character of the same name, the red supergiant star Betelgeuse's head shrank. Scientists watched the star blast its outer surface into space in 2019, an ...
Map showing various supernova candidates, most of which are within one kiloparsec from the Solar System. [1]This is a list of supernova candidates, or stars that are believed to soon become supernovae.
