[Orig: April 27, 2018] Hi everyone, Along with every other astronomer on the planet, I've been a bit distracted with the GAIA mission's second data release containing measurements of over a billion stars. If you haven't already, go read about it and watch some of the amazing videos that have come out - your mind will be blown! There has been a lot of anticipation over the data release with respects to this particular star, unfortunately too much for me to expand upon at th

2018 data update (12/n)
[Orig: April 16, 2018] Hi everyone, ICYMI, the frequency of these posts tend to be inversely proportional to my travel. The good thing is that I am back for almost 2 weeks.

Announcing: Evangeline!
[Orig: April 10, 2018] Hi everyone, "Evangeline" is now the name for the second dip in March 2018!! It is now labeled on the latest light curve (see below). A bit more on the name: Evangeline is the main character in the epic poem 'Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Announcing: Caral-Supe!
[Orig: April 5, 2018] Hi everyone, "Caral-Supe" is now the name for the first dip in March 2018!! It is now labeled on the latest light curve (see below).

Also notable is the large number of musical instruments found at the site, and almost no evidence of warfare or human sacrifice. The name of the 2nd dip will be

[Orig: April 2, 2018] Hi everyone, New data taken over the weekend show not much change over the past week or so.
