Surprise! Betelgeuse May Have Swallowed Another star, and yet it Could Explode at any time.

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.

“betel jews” -NasaSpaceNewsAgency 2023

[Campaigner]

“Betel Jews” 😆
Ok, it’s proven now. They don’t check their own videos

[jerodoverfield]

I prefer calling Beetlejuice but don't say it three times or you're going to summon you know who

[JamesKrawetz]

Come back in 100, 000 years give us an update. I can’t wait to see it explode

[genesisv]

say betel jews one more time, I'm finna square up

[Blank-nc]

Betelgeuse now 🟠
Betelgeuse in 100, 000 years 💥

[georgespalding]

This is what happens when you let AI take over your YouTube channel. They make up stories about the subject matter and they can't pronounce words worth a shit.

[Just_Call_Me_Tim]

“Don’t worry, it won’t happen soon…”

Why do you torment me so? 😂

I do not happen to think of 100, 000 years as a long time .

[jonathanmowat]

It could've already exploded, but it'll take 600 years for the light from that explosion 💥 to reach us though. When we see Belelgeuse, in the sky, we're seeing it as it was 600 years ago.

[juslewissr]

Maybe they misspelled/mispronounced "Beetlejuice" on purpose so as not summon, well, Beetlejuice. It's that third time that'll get ya, though!

"Go ahead, Barbara, say it!"
"Beetlejuice!"

[shanebeam]

I love how these videos know everything

[mreggs]

"betelgeuse may still have 100 000 years left to live"
I thought it only had 20 years left...

[lucifermephistophilies]

Sure they've been wrong about everything else they've claimed about this star so they're estimate on how long until it explodes is definitely an assured and relaxing statement. I'm not worried at all. 😅

Let's change the stars!  What I mean is, get the IAU to, OFFICIALLY, make a new constellation.
My idea for changing the stars includes Orion, Taurus and Pleiades (Subaru).  Figure it's time to put something up there that's relevant to us, don't you think?  Take Orion's belt and "Betelgeuse" becomes the head with a baseball hat.  The 3 stars of Orion's belt make up the 3 fat belt loops on a baseball uniform.  Below the belt are two legs bending at the knee.  "Saiph" is the back foot and "Rigel" is the front foot.  The spear pointing at Subaru/Pleiades is the bat and Subaru/Pleiades is the baseball flying away after being hit.  "Bellatrix" is the hand that let go and "Aldebaran" of Taurus is the bat's tip.  Put it all together and you get, "THE ALL-STAR."  In my case, I see a left-handed batter with a, "7, " on the jersey. Which makes him, "Mickey." (As it should be) But you can put any number you want, making, "THE ALL-STAR, " any player you want.  Pass it on, please and thank you. Don't worry, where I come from, crazy is a compliment. ;-P

[Flesh_Wizard]

Betel Jews is my favourite star in the night sky 😂

[MrDag]

"But don't worry it won't happen any time soon" DAMN i want it to go supernova right now!!!

or at least in my lifetime

[Betapvnk]

It’s… BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE… a name so nice you say it thrice

[celestialsafaris]

I reported on this a few years ago. It’s interesting that there’s two juxtapositions in the theories as to what’s going on with Betelgeuse. I’ve always preferred this one. That possible companion Betelgeuse swallowed as it went red giant is orbiting just inside the stars atmosphere like a leviathan just below the surface casting a wake that kicks up all that dust that obscured Betelgeuse

[KRYSJYN]

I think that the brightening and dimming of the star is a part of it's life cycle the same as our own sun has a ten year cycle, I think that it's an amazing opportunity to study what happens to a red giant in the latter stages of its life. Expand our knowledge of the cosmos. The more knowledge we acquire before we go into the void the better the chances of humanity being able to survive out there. It is either we go into space or we end up extinct.
