The outlook is promising for future long-term monitoring of planets across multiple wavelengths. Infrared imaging data from ...

In a groundbreaking study published in The Astrophysical Journal, astronomers have discovered high-velocity gas clouds near ...

Unusually fast-moving gas clouds near a nearby galaxy suggest they may have come from outside the galaxy. Scientists have ...

But Betelgeuse provided one more twist to the story. “Prior to our work,” Goldberg says to Astronomy, “a leading theory for LSP behavior was a companion with a dusty tail occulting the star.

Astronomers using observations from the Hubble Space Telescope have come up with a new theory as to why the star Betelgeuse is dimming. The researchers believe they see evidence of a massive cloud ...

This was eventually shown to be caused by a cloud. Stars such as Betelgeuse are continuously expelling gas and dust. A clump of gas in the wind, as large as the star itself, was obscuring half the ...

While Betelgeuse is 700 light-years away, Leona drifts through the solar system’s asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter as a border between the inner solar system and the four gas ...

Betelgeuse is a fascinating and mysterious star. We still have a lot to learn from it. Updated - June 19, 2023 03:34 pm IST ...

" [After the supernova] Betelgeuse would then fade over the next several months but remain visible in the daytime for six to 12 months. At night, you should be able to see it with the naked eye ...

This was eventually shown to be caused by a cloud. Stars such as Betelgeuse are continuously expelling gas and dust. A clump of gas in the wind, as large as the star itself, was obscuring half the ...

The only way for Betelgeuse to pulsate in this way is if it is at the very end of its carbon burning period. That means the collapse of this star’s core and the accompanying supernova is imminent.

Betelgeuse dimming over time, with cloud seen in last panel. That said, we still don’t know what caused the sudden brightening – it is now 50% brighter than usual.
