YouTube Description
as posted by the channelYou've probably heard about the recent news of the strange dimmings of Tabby's Star and the provoactive hypothesis of an alien megastructure (fi not check out ). But could there be a natural explanation instead? Well two theoretical astrophycistss here at Columbia think so and here they briefly summarize some of the leading theories (although news ones are appearing almost every day!) and they think their own explanation is the best one so far.
