It follows from our IR observations of the star (1986-2010) that its J-band brightness level in August, 2008 reached an absolute minimum (~12 m ), and till the beginning of the summer of 2010, the star was almost inaccessible for observations at 1.25 microns. ... The figure shows J-filter brightness variations of FG Sge in 1986-2010. ...

Each image was taken through a different colour filter. From left to right, the images show how Betelgeuse appears in red (a wavelength of 700 nanometres), very near-infrared (905 nm), and near-infrared (1290 nm) light. To show this, we have coloured the images different shades of orange and red. 700 nm . ...

Ecliptic coordinates use the ecliptic (the Earth's path around the sun) as the equator, and are used for solar system work. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...
