After a century-long search, astronomers have finally confirmed the existence of Betelgeuse's elusive companion star using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. The companion, Betelgeuse B, is more massive than previously thought, with 2-3 times the mass of the Sun. This discovery has significant implications for understanding red supergiant evolution and the potential influence of a companion on Betelgeuse's eventual supernova explosion.
