Sextuply-Eclipsing Sextuple Star System -- WHAT?

Last month a team of researchers, including the SETI Institute's Veselin Kostov, announced they had uncovered a unique 6-star system in TESS data, with the help of AI. The three binary stars form a gravitationally-bound system and each pair is producing eclipses. That's six eclipses! What can this system teach us about star formation and why does it matter? Join us in conversation with Veselin to learn more!
