I love astrophysics. But at some point I get annoyed at the speculation being presented as fact. Ex: Betelgeuse is 725 light years away. Yet scientists will tell us what it’s made of, its temperatures, etc. as if this is proven fact rather than just speculation based on our limited knowledge of what we know in our immediate galaxy. What’s to say it’s not made of gasses we’ve never contemplated could exist? I just wish all this fact sharing was shared as wild guessing, because that’s what it is.
