Light curve of Tabby’s Star
Tabby’s Star exhibits unusual behaviour when astronomers look at its light curve
1 Day 1,520
You can see here that the light from Tabby’s Star dimmed on day 1,520 of Kepler’s mission.
2 Day 1,540
Here we see a triple dip in flux with a symmetric profile – a pattern that's seen in other parts of the light curve for Tabby’s Star.
3 Day 1,570
Just 50 days later, a dip of a similar shape but different magnitude occurred. Was it caused by two different planets moving in front of the star?
