The Tabby's Star Enigma: A Stellar Dimming Mystery
Our hosts investigate KIC 8462852, also known as Tabby's Star, whose unprecedented irregular dimming patterns have defied conventional astronomical explanations. We examine the Kepler Space Telescope data showing light fluctuations of up to 22%, far exceeding what's typically observed during planetary transits. The discussion covers the comprehensive analysis of historical astronomical plates, modern multi-wavelength observations, and the various proposed explanations—from comet swarms to stellar physics—while exploring how this single star has forced us to reconsider our understanding of stellar behavior and evolution.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
