- iaw 11y agoI suspect that fusion/fission models don't allow for the way it's being observed.
- Sanddancer 11y agoPossibly a new variety of variable star, like the Beta Cephi and slowly pulsating stars [1]? The article doesn't have any information as to what sort of spectrographs, etc have been taken.

- duncancarroll 11y ago+1 for "Funky Star" hypothesis. This seems just as probable/improbable as any other speculation, including (meme joke) "Aliens."
