🔴 For centuries, Betelgeuse has puzzled astronomers. But now, a 100-year-old mystery is finally solved.

A tiny, hidden star—long suspected but never seen—has just been revealed orbiting Betelgeuse, the dying red supergiant in Orion. This game-changing discovery not only explains Betelgeuse’s strange behavior and the infamous Great Dimming of 2019… it could also rewrite how we understand the life and death of massive stars.

In this episode, we take you on a journey through time—from early 20th-century observations to cutting-edge imaging in 2024. Learn how scientists cracked the case, why the companion stayed hidden for so long, and what may happen when Betelgeuse finally explodes in a supernova.
