On the addendum at the end of the article ...
"Addendum: NEWS.com.au would like to apologise for their error - as we all know, Betelgeuse is the second biggest star in the Orion constellation, not the universe."
If they mean by diameter, what star is bigger in Orion?
It is the second brightest star in the constellation.
By mass, Alnilam and theta Orionis C are more massive and more luminous.
The article illustrates much ignorance in interpretation of whatever facts were available.
Regards, Rob.
