The Mystery of the WTF Star

The mystery was brought to light by a scientist By a graduate student, a PhD student named Tabeta Boyajian. This star had random dips in brightness Random lots of dips in brightness And some of the dips were so drastic It was like 20% of the starlight was being occulted20% up to 20% roughly That's an enormous dip So even if you have a Jupiter sized planet that goes in front of the sun it's gonna cause a decline in the brightness by one or two percent at most 20%. means it's a massive object coming between us and that star.
