Enif is a massive dying star, which doesn’t mean it is calmly enjoying the rest of its old age. Enif — or Epsilon Pegasi — is known for its erratic and violent behavior. In 1972, the star was observed to release some kind of enormous flare, five times brighter than normal. These kinds of events are only poorly understood and only about 24 of them are documented, so we don’t know what irritated it. But if we were constantly stalked by gawking researchers we’d probably be grumpy too.
