RZ Piscium, a star located 550 light-years away in the constellation Pisces, has long intrigued researchers with its strange “winking” behavior. During the erratic episodes, which last as long as two days, the celestial body becomes about ten times dimmer and emits a larger than normal amount of energy at infrared wavelengths, indicating the presence of enormous dust clouds.

cocolightbulb8년 이하This is so cool.
atheirethegoat8년 이하According to my research, "RZ Piscium is a UX Orionis type variable star 555 light-years away, in the constellation Pisces. Over the years, the star has been found to brighten and dim erratically, dimming by as much as ten-times its usual luminosity." (source: Wikipedia) DOGOnews's answer: Now, a new study by a team of scientists led by Kristina Punzi, a doctoral student at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), has come up with a more radical explanation. They believe the dust around RZ Piscium is caused by the star devouring its “offspring” — planets in its orbit, similar to the ancient Greek god Kronos who purportedly swallowed his children. My answer: I think that maybe RZ Piscium may be going through the Red Giant stage. Spoiler: In the Red Giant stage, the main star (ex: Sun) turns like 1,000 times the size, devours its planets and explodes, and after that, it turns into a white dwarf again (its beginning stage.) Now we have to wonder, what will happen next? Will a new source of planets form, like Kepler-16? Please reply any of your opinions and I will answer in the next 24 hours! Thank you! (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ
