For more than a century, Tabby's Star has intrigued astronomers with its unusual dimming, sometimes over days or weeks, before returning to its normal brightness. Now, new research suggests that the mysterious star is chowing down on a moon stolen away from a planet.
More than 1,000 light-years away, the star, also known as KIC 8462852, is 50% bigger than our sun and 1,000 degrees hotter. It's the only star to ever be observed exhibiting this strange behavior.It's now largely known as Tabby's Star, named for Tabetha Boyajian, a Louisiana State University assistant professor of physics and astronomy.
