A Hidden Companion Star Found Orbiting Betelgeuse 
After centuries of speculation, astronomers have finally confirmed the existence of a long-suspected companion star orbiting the iconic red supergiant Betelgeuse. This discovery was made using a special imaging technique that allowed scientists to block out Betelgeuse's intense light and see the much smaller star's faint signature. The companion is a massive star that's been orbiting the red supergiant for millennia. This finding helps explain some of Betelgeuse's bizarre and unpredictable behavior, such as its recent, unprecedented dimming. It gives us a more complete picture of this fascinating system and helps us understand the life cycles of these huge, dying stars
