PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Thanks for posting! Given the expectation that Betelgeuse will supernova - in the not to distant future (within decades) - what can learned about the asteroid Leona, and Betelgeuse will be very interesting!
""This kind of occultations are very useful to constrain the shape of the asteroid involved," Gianluca Masi, director of the Italy-based Virtual Telescope Project, said in a statement. "Here, we hope to even investigate the surface of the involved star, too: Betelgeuse."
