They have it wrong...it's Beezlebub, not Betelguise

Pluto isn't even a planet. It's a nasty, huge asteroid.

I did.

Antares is the largest star ever found.

Betelguese is the largest star in the Orion constellation, Rigel being the second largest in the constellation.

If betelguese was in our solar system, its outer edge would be beyond Mars' orbit close to Jupiter. Venus, Earth, Mercury and Mars would all orbit INSIDE the star.

Rigel and Betelguese are both spectacular stars to look at in telescopes. Hugely bright stars (Rigel is a very cool blue while Betelguese is a red star) and can leave a "halo" effect on humid nights. Rigel and Betelguese both show up brighter than Uranus or Neptune in my telescope (both the aforementioned planets merely look like faint stars while Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Venus look like Planets. Venus, btw, can only be seen in crescent from Earth).

I think I posted the discovery of this star a two years ago.
