minus-squareFaceman🇦🇺@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agocolloquially it might be beetlejuice, but traditionally it’s more like betelgyse,
minus-squarekristian@lemmy.astheriver.artlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 year ago like betelgyse Yeah I remember Patrick Moore always pronouncing it like that (with a hard g). Although Wikipedia suggests that the name originally comes from the Arabic for Orion, al-Jauzā’, so the colloquial pronunciation is probably more correct.
