KIC 8462852

This is an interesting read and whilst I imagine it’s not evidence of the building of Dyson swarm or other stellar engineering project the small possibility it is intriguing.

This paragraph if an observation of the construction of a structure would seem to indicate its being done very quickly

The first major dip, on 5 March 2011, obscured the star’s brightness by up to 15%, and the other (on 28 February 2013) by up to 22%. In comparison, a planet the size of Jupiter would only obscure a star of this size by 1%, indicating that whatever is blocking light during the star’s major dips is not a planet, but rather something covering up to half the width of the star

Anyway thought I’d post it in case other find it interesting as well

The latest news in the scientific press is that there are claims that what is being seen here is an exoplant being ripped apart, possibly by tidal forces.
