Description
This artist's concept illustrates outbursting star FU Orionis as it appeared in 2016. The star is pictured with the disk of material that surrounds it. Researchers found that it has dimmed by about 13 percent at short infrared wavelengths since data was collected on the star in 2004. FU Orionis is a few hundred thousand years old. It is possible that when our sun was younger, it also went through a period of intense brightening followed by dimming.
