The Invisible Force Behind Betelgeuse's Strange Behavior

Dive into the mystery of Betelgeuse's intriguing companion star! Scientists have found evidence of a sun-sized "Beetle Buddy" orbiting the red supergiant, helping explain its puzzling 2,170-day brightness cycle. Learn how this companion acts as a cosmic snowplow, clearing paths through Betelgeuse's dust clouds and potentially influencing its eventual supernova.

In this episode, we explore:

• How astronomers detected the hidden companion
• What this means for Betelgeuse's future supernova
• Why this companion orbits at a surprisingly close distance
• The role of dust and debris is Betelgeuse's brightness changes
• How the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope could revolutionize our understanding with its powerful coronagraph technology.

Coming soon: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope may give us our first direct look at Betelgeuse's mysterious companion through advanced spectroscopy and imaging!
