Astronomers Have Their Best Solution Yet To The Mysterious 'Alien Megastructure' Star

In 2015, astronomers have been trying to find the cause of Tabby's Star's mysterious behavior. The star keeps dimming in an oddly sporadic pattern, and has overall gotten 10% less bright in just a century. Some scientists have suggested an alien megastructure or a massive swarm of comets may be to blame. In 2019, a team of astrophysicists at Columbia University proposed a different culprit. The star have have stolen icy moons from an orbiting planet. Over time, radiation dissolved these moons, creating a dusty cloud that blocks some of the starlight.
