Podcast Extra: The Dimming of Betelgeuse!

To illustrate the epic saga of the Great Dimming of Betelgeuse,
in this podcast extra, we revisit all our previous discussions of
the red supergiant – collated just for you in one handy dandy
place!


We cover all the previous major studies of the Great Dimming
event from the past year and a half, to let you relive the
glorious adventure that is scientific investigation!


Tune in to see how this amazing story has evolved and remind
yourself of the previous theories; from coincidental pulsation
cycles, to surface temperature drops, and, of course, cosmic dust
(as predicted by the Dust Queen herself).


We finish with a brief summary of the newest research published
in Nature, using data from the European Southern Observatory’s
Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT).
