One of the brightest objects of the night sky, and perhaps the one most talked about as well, is the star Beetlejuice, located on the right shoulder of the Orion constellation.
But it has been acting pretty strange since the past few years.
If you have been following news about Betelgeuse, you’d remember that it was in late 2019 that Beetlejuice shot to fame, after a mysterious dimming event.
This sudden dip and rise in its light, had some scientists thinking it was going to go supernova right then.
However, long before the great dimming event and the Betelgeuse's rise to fame, scientists had clocked another vexing feature in this star.
And now, new observations of Betelgeuse challenge our understanding of stellar physics.
