Betelgeuse May Have Swallowed Another Star, And We Finally Know Why

Betelgeuse is one of the most unstable stars in our night sky, and for years its strange dimming, unusual brightness cycles, and unexpectedly fast rotation have puzzled astronomers. Now, new observations may be revealing what is really happening. In this video, we explore the Great Dimming of Betelgeuse, evidence for a possible hidden companion known as “Betelbuddy,” and the dramatic idea that Betelgeuse may have swallowed another star in the past. That ancient stellar merger could help explain why this massive red supergiant behaves so strangely today.
