Summary
Deep in the constellation Cygnus lies a star that defies what we know such stars. Tabby’s Star flickers in ways that seem impossible—plunging in brightness by up to 22% without rhyme or reason. Could this cosmic enigma be hiding shattered planets, swarms of comets, or something even more extraordinary, like an alien megastructure? In this episode, we unravel the strange light curves, elusive infrared signals, and tantalizing theories surrounding the star that breaks the rules of astrophysics. Is it a natural wonder, or a beacon of intelligent life? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
