Tabby’s Star / Latest News

#1

Post by Frankskywatcher »


I am really intrigued by Tabby’s Star but can’t really find any current information or conclusions as to what it might be .
This was the most current article I could find and it’s from the beginning of the year.

Does anyone have any updates in regards to this subject matter ?
Thank in Advance Frank

Thank you Don Pensack I throughly enjoyed that video !
I read somewhere else that they think it could be a star going thru different stages of “ dying” for lack of a better word.
I’m amazed that it has been found but the fact that it asks more questions than it answered fascinates me even more .
Thanks Again Frank

Yes, there is still much to be learned about stars.
We still have a long way to go to understand Wolf-Rayet stars as well.
