Scientists: “star of the alien became even more strange

Ученые: «Звезда пришельцев» стала еще более страннойIt turned out in particular that the star periodically dims for 1-7% almost every day.

Already extremely strange star KIC 8462852 became even weirder — say representatives of the Russian-American collaboration of astronomers who study the periodically changing its brightness shone.

This fact, as follows from the material published in the digital library arXiv.org may be explained is that the Dyson sphere — a hypothetical megastructure around the star used is not less than the hypothetical aliens to harvest energy.

Fluctuations in the brightness of stars KIC 8462852, located in the constellation of Swan was observed in October 2015. After analyzing the results of astronomical observations over the past seven years, scientists have discovered that the brightness of the lights a few times by almost 25%.

Recent studies show that changes in the character of the glow KIC 8462852 are even more strange than previously thought. It turned out in particular that the star periodically dims for 1-7% almost every day.

And the corresponding darkening of the luminaries is clearly associated with some objects in its orbit, because otherwise her behavior to explain is not possible.

These facts, as the researchers note, with high probability indicate the presence of an object, similar to the Dyson sphere, around the mysterious star.
