The dimming is short lived and a large enough dyson swarm would habe no reason to be clumped up like that, since it orbits close to the star

So if it is aliens, then its more likely to be large sollar collectors near their home planet or other planetary colonization

Which means they only just recently got into space, when the light was transmitted, so their tech can't be too different from ours

So if the spectra shows the presence of a lot of metals, or maybe carbon allotropes, then you have aliens

If you have oxides/water/dust, you have a planetary collision

Also the dimming has already ended https://twitter.com/Astro_Wright/status/866677994173198336

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

With love,

why aren't more scientists concerned that we're now living out the plot of hellstar remina? i don't want to get eaten by a planet/star/whatever the gently caress remina was

fortunately, we didn't name it after a scientist's daughter and then subjected her to the insane life of a jpop idol, so we're safe

Past tense, were about the same level as us in a simple satellite type of scenario. What we are seeing was about 1200 years ago.

Iirc the amount of objects needed to reduce the luminosity of tabbys star would be staggering, which is why a Dyson cloud/megastructure was proposed as a non-natural explanation. I think that would rule out just a large amount of satellites near their planet.

It's clearly the remains of one of the moons of Cybertron
