A Journey to Tabby’s Star: The Most Mysterious Star Ever Found

For centuries, the night sky has been a place of calm and order. Stars rise, stars set, and for the most part, they shine steadily, faithful beacons across human history. But in 2015, astronomers noticed something that broke the pattern: a star nearly 1,500 light years away that flickered like no other. Sometimes it dimmed by a few percent, sometimes by nearly a quarter of its light—like someone was drawing cosmic curtains across its face. The usual explanations—planets, comets, dust—didn’t quite fit. Some even dared to whisper: could it be something artificial? This star, now known as Tabby’s Star, became the most mysterious object in the galaxy, a puzzle that continues to challenge everything we thought we knew about the universe.
