- Betelgeuse dimmed sharply in 2019 and 2020, with an expelled dust cloud subsequently identified as the cause.
- A team led by Steve Howell used the Gemini North telescope and speckle interferometry to obtain images that probably show the young companion directly.
- The researchers do not rule out a foreground or background star, but they consider the combined evidence to support a companion to Betelgeuse.
- If confirmed, the companion would be pulled into Betelgeuse by its gravity and perish there within about 10,000 years, according to a statement; Thomas Granzer said the finding is unrelated to a possible supernova of Betelgeuse.
If this discovery is confirmed, it will certainly be a sensation.— Thomas Granzer, Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam; who had personally searched for the stellar companion with the Hubble Space Telescope last year.
