> The star is actually a binary pair of rare stars in the constellation of Cygnus, and their interactions produce precise periodic eruptions of dust that are expanding out in shells into the space around the pair over time.

I see another possible explanation. A star generates periodic bursts of light, and what we’re seeing is a series of parallel light echoes.

But their explanation is probably a better one.
