Behind the scenes

Betelgeuse V was a planet in script editor Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. In the real world, the star Betelgeuse is not known to have any inhabitable planets in its orbits, but the name "Betelgeuse V" implies that the inhabited "planet Betelgeuse" is the fifth planet revolving around Betelgeuse.
