Go to for a free sample pack with any order! One of strangest discoveries in astronomy is one you've probably never heard of - Przybylski’s Star. This is a star that defies natural explanation and has many wondering whether this could be evidence of alien life, a star being deliberately “salted“ by some advanced civilization. Join us today to learn more. Written & presented by Prof. David Kipping, edited by Jorge Casas.
