Science Discoveries
NASA’s Kepler telescope first noticed the mysterious dipping in the star’s brightness, at random intervals between 2011 and 2013. Tabby’s Star, nestled 1300 light-years away, in the constellation Cygnus. At first glance, this star looks like any other normal yellow-white dwarf. However, once we started observing it, we noticed that its dimming was wild and mysterious.
