COSMIC MESSAGE
Epsilon Aurigae fades every 27 years, dimming for two years before brightening again. Astronomers have studied this mystery star since the 19th century. They now believe it is undergoing a long eclipse by a dark companion object. Citizen Sky, a team of professional and amateur astronomers, continues to collect evidence.
