- layer8 1y agoSee here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betelgeuse#Variability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betelgeuse#Variability And from the original NOIRLab link: “This discovery answers the longstanding mystery of the star’s varying brightness”.
- jimmytucson 1y agoThe system’s brightness decreases when the companion star swings around behind Betelgeuse. It also dips when Betelgeuse goes behind the companion star but much less so because Betelgeuse is so much larger.
