The most mysterious star in the universe | Tabetha Boyajian
TED Published on 29 Apr 2016
https://youtu.be/gypAjPp6eps
Something massive, with roughly 1,000 times the area of Earth, is blocking the light coming from a distant star known as KIC 8462852, and nobody is quite sure what it is. As astronomer Tabetha Boyajian investigated this perplexing celestial object, a colleague suggested something unusual: Could it be an alien-built megastructure? Such an extraordinary idea would require extraordinary evidence. In this talk, Boyajian gives us a look at how scientists search for and test hypotheses when faced with the unknown.

PBS SpaceTime is quite a good series, going through astrophysics/quantum stuff - black holes, dark matter etc in short sections. Nicely explained without being over-simplified I thought.

He’s got a good in-depth series on his own channel as well, ‘Biggest Ideas in the Universe’ in particular.
