The Mysterious Star HD 139139 with Dr. Andrew Vanderburg

John Michael Godier"s Event Horizon ·

2025/11/30

28 random dips of light were observed by the Kepler space telescope of the star HD 139139. The random transiting nature of the objects and the light curves were studied by a team that was lead by Dr. Saul Rappaport and Dr. Andrew Vanderburg. This bizarre star so far stands out from the Kepler mission. One explanation includes rapid sunspots. Possible SETI implications include an alien civilization creating an unnatural looking orbits to signal to others that they exist. John Michael Godier spoke to

2025/11/25

Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has quickly become one of the most closely watched astronomical events of the decade. As only the third confirmed interstellar object ever detected, every new observation of 3I/ATLAS is reshaping how astronomers think about the chemistry, origins, and long-distance evolution of small bodies formed around other stars. In this interview, astrophysicists Dr. Thomas Puzia and Rohan Rahatgaonkar discuss the latest research as new spectroscopy, VLT monitoring, ALMA data, and
