Betelgeuse

Bételgeuse English Alternative forms en Betelguez Etymology en ar ي د ي ج و ز Ultimately from an alteration of the en ar يَد الجَوْزَاء hand of the central one (i.e., Orion), from ar يَد hand + ar جَوْزَاء central one. Jawzā, ‘the central one’, initially referred to Gemini among the Arabs, but the name was later transferred to Orion. During the Middle Ages the first character of the name, yā’ (ar ي, with two underdots), was misread as a bā’ (ar ب, with one underdot) when transliterating into Latin, thus *Yedalgeuze became Bedalgeuze. This was then misinterpreted during the Renaissance as deriving from a corruption of an original Arabic form ar إِبْط الجَوْزَاء armpit of the central one.

Although already quite difficult to overlook, Betelgeuse has become even more eye-catching across the past few years because of major changes in its appearance—unexpected fluctuations in its brightness that remain poorly understood.
