Can we have one , pretty please ? We promise to stay in this little corner away from everything else.
'They' reckon there's some sort of massive Alien construction somewhere out in deep space and that's why they can sometimes see whatever planet 'they've discovered, using Kepler, but sometimes they can't. They say this 'very big indeed' Alien structure is the only possible explanation for this phenomenon. Summut like that anyway.
You're talking about Tabby's Star or KIC8462842. It's a very interesting system but obviously it's unlikely to be an alien megastructre. Unless there's a massive telescope there that occasionally blocks 20% of that star's light as it rotates to focus. My money's on a binary or triple star system, one or two of them being a white dwarf, neutron star or black hole. Or any combination of the three.
