Betelgeuse [alOri], ability to initiate large-scale projects

Betelgeuse [Alfa Orionis, alOri, α Ori] is a red supergiant star type, located in the constellation of Orion. It is the 9th brightest star in the sky, with an absolute magnitude of -5.5. It is located 640 light years from Earth. Its mass is about 20 times that of the Sun and its size about 600 times greater. If it was located at the center of our solar system, its size would extend beyond the orbit of Mars.

At the end of its life, Betelgeuse will explode as a supernova of type II.

It is surrounded by a complex nebula, formed by silicates and galactic dust, expelled by the star during stellar flares, which extends to a distance of about 400 AU. In 2010 observations, a weak magnetic field was detected on the surface of Betelgeuse, with the form of dynamo, generated by the massive movements of convection. Something that was already suspected since the year 2002, on the basis of computer simulation models.

It has a declination of +7º and it is located at the degree 28º of Gemini (-16º de latitud celeste).

Its original name derives from the Arabic الجوزا يد yad-jawzā, which means 'the hand of Jauza'. During Middle Ages, when the name of the star was transcribed to latin, it became "Bedalgeuze". During the Renaissance, it is thought that its original name could have been "Bayt al-jauza", which in Arabic means "the shoulder of Jauza", which led to the current form: "Betelgeuse".

The quality of the star Betelgeuse reminds the planets Jupiter and Saturn. It is related with  the ability to initiate large-scale projects.
