Betelgeuse’s Secret Star BFF?!

Turns out Betelgeuse—the giant red star that could go supernova—might not be flying solo after all. Astronomers just caught the best-ever glimpse of a hidden companion star orbiting it, and they’ve nicknamed it ‘her bracelet’ (Siwarha). This little star is basically skimming through Betelgeuse’s outer layers every six years! The catch? It might get swallowed up before Betelgeuse explodes. Space drama, anyone? #Science #SpaceNews #Betelgeuse
