Esoteric Detective | Scientists BAFFLED by potential "ALIEN MEGA-STRUCTURE" star KIC 8462852 as comet theory is ruled out @EsotericDetective6 | Uploaded January 2016 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Latest investigations into this strange star KIC 8462852 by have reignited the alien theory, New Scientist reported.
What makes this star, KIC 8 4 6 2 8 5 2, known as Tabby's Star so bizarre is the drastic changes in light we see from it over time. Many stars experience temporary fluctuations in brightness, increasing and decreasing in luminosity over time, but Tabby's Star changes are severe by comparison.
Between 2009 and 2013, astronomers using the Kepler space telescope discovered that it would sometimes lose up to 20% of its brightness. What's more, the changes didn't follow any obvious pattern.
That would suggest something gigantic must be blocking the light at random times, meaning that it couldn't be a planet or other regular orbiting object because that would generate a distinct pattern of dimming light. It must be something that changes shape over time, thereby blocking different levels of light at random intervals.
An alien mega structure, called a Dyson swarm, was suggested as one explanation for what scientists have observed, but the most likely reason astronomers came up with was comets — a giant family of them.
"The comet-family idea was reasonably put forth as the best of the proposals, even while acknowledging that they all were a poor lot," Schaefer told New Scientist. "But now we have a refutation of the idea, and indeed, of all published ideas."
To make his discovery, Schaefer had to dig deep down into the astronomy archives at Harvard. It turns out, astronomers have data on Tabby's Star dating back as far as 1890.
By analyzing over 1,200 measurements of this star's brightness taken from 1890 through 1989, Schaefer found that the irregular dimming of Tabby's Star has been going on for over 100 years. Schaefer published his findings in the online preprint server arXiv dot org.
