Betelgeuse is too far from the ecliptic to be occulted by the major planets, but those by some asteroids (which are more wide-ranging and much more numerous) occur frequently. A partial occultation by the 19th magnitude asteroid (147857) 2005 UW 381 occurred on 2 January 2012. It was partial because the angular diameter of the star was larger ...
Betelgeuse is one of the best-known stars in the night sky, as well as the easiest to find. ... the massive star Betelgeuse would stretch out beyond the orbit of Jupiter. This new study finds its ...
The following well-known stars are listed for the purpose of comparison. Antares (α Scorpii A) 680 [65] AD Fourteenth brightest star in the night sky. [66] Widely recognised as being among the largest known stars. [19] Betelgeuse (α Orionis) 640, [67] 764 +116 −62, [68] 782 ± 55 [69] AD & SEIS Tenth brightest star in the night sky. [66]
An L2 dwarf that is fusing hydrogen. Similarly to 2MASS J0523-1403, SSSPM J0829-1309 is one of the least luminous and massive hydrogen-fusing stars, and is smaller than Jupiter.

Betelgeuse—the star and not the slimy, suit-wearing demon—is one of the most celebrated celestial objects in the night sky. Found in the constellation Orion, Betelgeuse is extremely bright ...
An asteroid will briefly eclipse Betelgeuse, ... Set to pass between the star and Earth is Leona, a slightly oval-shaped asteroid located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Leona is estimated ...
This is a list of the brightest natural objects in the sky.This list orders objects by apparent magnitude from Earth, not anywhere else.This list is with reference to naked eye viewing; all objects are listed by their visual magnitudes, and objects too close together to be distinguished are listed jointly.
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.
