In this episode, we explore the possibility that Betelgeuse, one of the brightest and most mysterious stars in the sky, may have consumed a smaller companion star in the past. We discuss how this could explain some of its unusual features, such as its fast rotation, its asymmetrical shape, and its dimming episodes. We also talk about what this means for Betelgeuse’s future as a supernova and how we can observe this fascinating star in the sky. Join us as we uncover the secrets and mysteries of Betelgeuse, a star that never fails to surprise us.
