Can you guess what they found?

Astronomers using the VISTA telescope made the discovery.  Somewhat surprisingly, this was unknown until very recently.  They used some extremely advanced techniques to map many cepheid stars in their recent find.  A cepheid is described as a star with variable brightness to an extent they are used to measure distances in astronomy.  “Classical cepheids” are also usually many times brighter than the sun.

Deep within the isolated stars that they studied is where they saw something previously overlooked by astronomers.
