Betelgeuse's Invisible Partner Captured by Several Telescopes
Companion Confirmed: Solving the Mystery of Betelgeuse's Great Dimming
Scientists have confirmed the existence of Betelgeuse's elusive companion, Siwarha, finally resolving the bizarre dimming events the star experienced. Learn how this tiny stellar body explains years of astronomical mystery and shapes the star's future.
Short Summary
- Observed X-ray non-detection rules out Betelgeuse's companion being a compact object like a white dwarf.
- The companion, now named Siwarha, is likely a Young Stellar Object (YSO) orbiting at about 9 AU, similar to Saturn's distance.
- This orbit explains the 6-year (2100-day) pulsation cycle and the massive surface ejections observed previously.
Presenting several recent papers, this document details the confirmation of the object predicted by astroseismology data. Understanding this confirmed binary system helps explain Betelgeuse’s rotation speed and predicts future dimming events based on Siwarha's orbital path.

I hope they name it Lydia Deets
Anton Anton Anton. See, it works!
Anton your incantation backfired, instead of summoning Betelgeuse, you summoned a partner for Betelgeuse.
Orion is my favourite constellation. It is very bright tonight in UK. Thanks for your amazing channel you wonderful person. Been watching your channel for around 10 years now. Brilliant stuff. )
Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. 🙂
I do not want the Betelgeuse Star appearing next to me 😹
Finally! Something coherent about Betelgeuse! Thank you, Anton!
Somewhere between 643 years ago and 10,000 years from then, it will go boooooooom.
Betelgeuse: You got to get out of here, Siwarha, I'm no good for you. Siwarha: Oh, you hot head; who's going to feed you if you get hungry? Betelgeuse: ... I suppose [looks up and stares menacingly]... you will. Siwarha: Why are you looking at me like that? Awkward. I guess that's what happens when you anthropomorphize big flaming balls of gas in space.
"It's showtime!" ✌️😆🤣👍
