Mystery Deepens Around ‘Alien Megastructure’ Star
- 8 years ago
A new study has found that a mysterious star’s output has dimmed by about 20 percent through most of the 1900s; this finding discounts previous theories including a bundle of comets and an “alien megastructure” which have attempted to explain its unusual light fluctuations.
The mystery surrounding a star previously linked to aliens continues to deepen.
The entity known as KIC 8462852 originally made headlines after scientists observed a range of unexplained light fluctuations being emitted from it.
Since the occasional 20 percent drop in light can’t be explained by normal means like a passing planet, one theory that has been proposed involves its periodic obstruction from a group of comets.
