The VLT of ESO has captured the clearest image ever of Betelgeuse B, confirming a century-old hypothesis about the companion star of Betelgeuse.
The presence of a companion star orbiting Betelgeuse has been confirmed using the Very Large Telescope. This discovery sheds light on the dynamics of this supergiant star.
Astronomers have found strong evidence that Betelgeuse, one of the most famous stars in the night sky, is not alone. Using the Very Large Telescope, a team led by Miguel Montargès captured what is likely Betelgeuse B, its companion star.
