Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers detected the wake of a hidden companion star orbiting Betelgeuse. Instead of spotting the star directly, they traced the swirling material shaped by its gravity - like following ripples on water to reveal what moved beneath the surface.
This breakthrough offers scientists a new way to study how massive stars change over time… and how they eventually explode as supernovae.
