Betelgeuse’s Unbelievable Speed Leaves Scientists Perplexed
Betelgeuse, the 10th brightest star in the sky, has left experts in awe with its unbelievable speed. Scientists are perplexed at how a star so big, roughly 2,000 times bigger than our Sun, can spin so quickly. A new study suggests that the data supporting the rotational speed could actually be tracking the star’s convection movement rather than its true speed. Further observations and studies are needed to clarify the true rotational speed of Betelgeuse.
