Finally a nice clear night. Orion is high in the sky and there is no moon up yet.
Betelgeuse is dim. Really dim. It's strange.
By eye, Betelgeuse is about the same magnitude as Bellatrix beside it, or Saiph above it. Very odd.
Now I've just read of LIGO detecting gravity waves from the area of Betelgeuse. Further reading seems to indicate that it may be just coincidence. The readings may be just from a similar region and not Betelgeuse itself.
Some very interesting stuff going on.
