…other massive stars like the red supergiant Betelgeuse will inevitably become black holes. There are also other black holes called “primitive” or “primordial” black holes, which – as their name…
…top ten of the largest stars known — 50% larger than the famous red supergiant Betelgeuse — and about one million times brighter than the Sun. “The new observations also…
…red supergiant some 10 to 20 times more massive than the Sun, and quite similar to the well-known star Betelgeuse in Orion. A version of this image was entered into…
…by physicist Kip Thorne and astronomer Anna Żytkow. Thorne-Żytkow objects (TŻOs) are hybrids of red supergiant and neutron stars that superficially resemble normal red supergiants, such as Betelgeuse in the…
…5,800K (9,980F/5,527C) and it’s a yellow dwarf star, while Betelgeuse in the constellation of Orion is a red giant and its surface temperature is cooler at about 3,500K (5,840F/3,227C), and…
…The Winter Circle contains two other special groupings of stars: the constellation Orion, and another wintertime asterism, the Winter Triangle, made of the bright stars Sirius, Betelgeuse, and Procyon. Like…
…left a series of supernovae as the only tenable possibility, Melott said. The researchers estimate the supernovae that triggered these events to be around 60 light-years away. For context, Betelgeuse,…
…the star Betelgeuse, which is over 600 light-years away and well outside of the kill distance of 25 light-years,” said graduate student and study co-author Adrienne Ertel. The team explored…
…Betelgeuse, with sizes as large as the orbits of Mars or Jupiter. These stars eventually die in spectacular supernova explosions. Reference: “A Runaway Yellow Supergiant Star in the Small Magellanic…
…and temperatures. The HRD is a “family portrait” of the stars in the Galaxy, where stars such as the Sun, Altair, Alpha Centauri, Betelgeuse, the north star Polaris and Sirius…
