Tabby's Star (aka Boyajian's Star) is back in the news with some new data published by the original discoverers. Finally we are starting to get a sense as to what might be going on around this star, with dust emerging as a leading hypothesis. Is the alien megastucture hypothesis excluded now? Where did the dust come from? How can we confirm this idea? We get into all of this in our first video of 2018 - Happy New Year!
