New hypothesis explains Theta Eridani's mysterious brightness after 100 years

For over a century, astronomers have puzzled over why historical records describe the star Theta Eridani in the constellation Eridanus as far brighter than modern measurements show. A new study proposes that the discrepancy may stem from past events within the star's close binary or multiple system. The hypothesis is the first coherent explanation put forward for this long-standing astronomical mystery.
