Astronomers have spotted signs that Betelgeuse, the closest supergiant star to Earth, could be about to explode as a ...

To give a sense of scale, if Betelgeuse were placed at the center of our solar system, its surface would extend beyond the ...

Greetings, stargazers. Spring is galaxy season for many amateur astronomers. However, when looking through an eyepiece instead of a camera for astrophotography, you might think of this as the season ...

But it's not going to hurt us. Betelgeuse is the shoulder of Orion, a red giant sitting about 500 light years away. It's huge, weighing somewhere between 15 and 20 solar masses, but is so extended ...

The observations of the dimming led to a change in our understanding of the behavior of Betelgeuse and its surrounding environment, such as the apparent 5 km/s surface rotation, models of the ...

Betelgeuse is a red giant star that shines brightly in the night sky. It makes up one of the "shoulders" of Orion, one of the ...

Une équipe internationale comprenant un astronome de l'Observatoire de Paris, obtient, grâce à l'interféromètre géant ALMA, l'image la plus détaillée de la surface d'une autre étoile que le Soleil, ...

Based on Betelgeuse's mass, rotation speed, the group of stars it belongs to, and the amount of metal on its surface, it is estimated that Betelgeuse will explode as a supernova hundreds of ...

One of the brightest stars in the night sky, Betelgeuse, may not be on the brink of exploding as a supernova, according to a new study of the star's brightening and dimming. Instead, recent ...

Ce phénomène serait en réalité une illusion d'optique causée par l'activité turbulente à sa surface. Malgré sa jeunesse, Betelgeuse est déjà en fin de vie et pourrait bientôt exploser en supernova, un ...
