The light from stars isn’t always steady, it pulsates. This is uniform across the whole surface, but now astronomers have discovered a new type of teardrop-sized star that only pulses on one side. Known as HD74423, this star is about 1.7 times the mass of Sun and is 1,500 light-years away from Earth. But it’s not alone out there – HD74423 has a red dwarf friend, and the pair orbits each other in less than 2 days.
