red juicebug star or planet?

Question

IS THERE A RED JUICEBUG STAR OR IS ITA PLANET

Answer 1

Are you talking about Beetle juice?

Betelgeuse (it is pronounced the same as the bug juice thing) is a red giant star that we see in the constellation of Orion. It is a star that has run out of hydrogen fuel in its core and it has expanded quite a bit.

Our Sun will do the same when it runs out of fuel (another 5 billion years of so) and will expand so that its surface will be very close to our orbit.

Betelgeuse is much more massive than the Sun (14 times the mass of the Sun). Therefore, it has expanded a lot more (if we placed it in the place of our Sun, its surface would be beyond the orbit of Mars).

Some astronomers believe that Betelgeuse could explode (supernova) in as little as a million years.

Answer 2

Pretty sure you're thinking about Betelgeuse, which is a red supergiant in the constellation Orion.

If you stay up until about 11pm or so, you can see it rising in the east. If you face East, a little to the right, at this time, you should see a very prominent rectangle of bright stars, with 3 bright stars close together in a vertical line in the middle. This shape is something like a bow-tie. Betelgeuse would be the lower-left star at this time.

As Orion goes across the sky, it rotates to where he is "standing upright" when it is in the southern sky, and Betelgeuse would be the top-left corner.

Answer 3

Betelgeuse is a red giant star in the constellation Orion.
It is pronounced "beetle juice" by some, but others pronounce it "bettle geez".

It is 427 light years away, with a radius of 630 times our sun and a mass 14 times our sun. But being a red giant its surface is cooler than our sun at only 3500 K (our sun is 5300 K).

Answer 4

damn, on "Lost In Space" some pirate used to pronounce it 'Bay-Till-GHEEZ-Ee'

Arrrrr, that mighta just been the Pirate way, matey!
