In 1970, it faded by 0.7 magnitude, becoming 50% fainter. The cause for this is unknown, but thought possibly due to ejection of dust that obscured the star's light If this has been permanent the statement should read "Since 1970..."--Wetman (talk) 05:36, 25 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

I think it got brighter again. Was not able to find more about this - will see what I can dig up. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:50, 25 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
