Released: 27 May 2016 Duration: 67 minutes, 16 seconds   We interview LSU astronomer Bradley Schaefer about why is sticking to his guns about the century-long dimming of Tabby's Star (KIC 8462952), why some popular explanations fail, and what can be done to further explore the reason that this star's behavior is so behavior. In particular, Brad wants to encourage us to contribute to Tabetha Boyajian's kickstarter to buy telescope time to monitor the star.   Links: The Fast and Slow Dimming of Tabby's Star Tabby's Star for the Perplexed, Part 1 The Most Mysterious Star in the Universe Brad Schaefer: KIC 8462852 Faded at an Average Rate of 0.165+-0.013 Magnitudes Per Century From 1890 To 1989 Brad Schaefer on Centauri Dreams: Further Thoughts on the Dimming of KIC 8462852     Credits: Host and Producer: Paul Carr Announcer: Erin Carr Music: DJ Spooky, George Hrab   The Wow!
