A weather satellite has helped explain why the red supergiant star Betelgeuse experienced an unprecedented dimming in 2019–20. This, astronomers believe, allowed the cloud to cool and condense into dust that blocked some of Betelgeuse’s light. The satellite revealed that the star itself cooled by 140 °C.

Great Dimming: Betelgeuse as observed in 2019–20 (Courtesy: ESO/M Montargès et al. ). The dramatic dimming of the red supergiant star Betelgeuse in 2019–20 was caused by a cold spot on the surface of the star causing a nearby gas cloud to cool and condense into obscuring dust, according to new findings.

In an unchanging climate, the random fluctuations would lead to warming in some parts of the world and cooling in others. In a world with just random local fluctuations but no climate change, about half the weather stations would show a (more or less significant) warming, the other half a cooling.
