CALIFORNIA - Astronomers have released a new image showing Betelgeuse, a red supergiant is closest to the Earth. Betelgeuse mysterious light display that reportedly can be seen with the naked eye as a bright object, a red star in the constellation Orion.
Reported by ScienceDaily, Thursday (25/04/2013), this new image taken by the e-MERLIN radio telescope is operated from Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire. The picture also shows the hot gas in the shock region outside of the atmosphere.
Betelgeuse is easily visible to the naked eye as a bright object, a red star in Orion the Hunter area. This star has a very large size, which is 1,000 times larger than the sun.
With its mammoth size and is 650 light-years away, Betelgeuse can be seen as a small dot in the sky. Astronomers need a special technique using a telescope to see the details of the star and the surrounding area.
Betelgeuse is captured new images of e-MERLIN appear in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Betelgeuse show atmosphere that extends up to five times the size of the surface.
Betelgeuse also showed hot spots in the outer atmosphere and the cold gas in the outer surface of the radio star. Hot spots (hot spots) are separated by approximately half the diameter of visual stars and has a temperature of approximately 4000-5000 Kelvin. (FMH)
