Astronomers have long gazed in awe at Betelgeuse, that famously burly red supergiant in the Orion constellation—known for its temper, wild outbursts, and occasional threats to blow itself up just to get noticed. But this week, fresh images from the Very Large Telescope (yes, that’s its real name; astronomers don’t do subtlety) have revealed something that’s left even the most seasoned sky-watchers clutching their telescopes: Betelgeuse… has a companion star.
That’s right. All these years, while humans worried if Betelgeuse’s impending supernova might disrupt our cosmic Wi-Fi, the hunky star had a secret partner. The new discovery ends centuries of speculation—and crushes the hopes of lonely neutron stars everywhere.
The identity of the companion star remains a mystery, but early reports suggest it’s smaller, hotter, and is either hopelessly in love or desperately trying to smoke Betelgeuse out for overdue rent.
Leading the research, Dr. Nova Sparkly commented, “This companion has been hiding in Betelgeuse’s shadow—quite literally. We suspect the two met during a wild galaxy party millions of years ago and have been gravitationally entangled ever since.”
Betelgeuse itself has yet to comment, but scientists note a discernible smug brightness in its recent flickers. The news has sent a ripple of envy through other lonely giants. Rigel reportedly updated its constellation dating profile, while Sirius simply tweeted, “Must be nice.”
NASA plans to observe the stellar duo over coming months, hoping to catch footage for the next season of “Keeping Up With The Constellations.”
Experts predict this celestial power couple will spawn years of memes and at least one low-budget rom-com titled “Love in the Time of Nebulas.” Watch this space, because clearly, the stars are just like us: messy, dramatic, and never truly alone.
