The story of HD 101065, Przybylski’s star, is one of a forty-year controversy over the nature of what is arguably the most peculiar star in the sky, a controversy that is only now being resolved fully. Our current understanding is that HD 101065 is the coolest (Teff ≈ 7400 K) and the most peculiar of the Ap SrCrEu stars. The existence of this most peculiar star, and other Ap stars, has been the source of some very interesting stellar astrophysics with applications far wider than the understanding of just the stars themselves.
