More evidence for an alien megastructure?

[Brian G Turner]

And ... the latest explanation is that the dimming is simply caused by a dust ring: 'Alien Megastructure' Ruled Out for Some of Star's Weird Dimming

On the one hand, somewhat prosaic - but another reminder that dust clouds sometimes seem to get over-looked. *cough* Type Ia supernova *cough*

Interesting to me specifically because I'm reading a Sci-Fi Novel that includes this kind of discovery right now. Pandora's Star.

So I guess I had that one pretty well nailed Though they are talking about rather smaller stuff than I imagined! My excuse is that I didn't know about the different dimming at different wavelengths ahem....

I've been watching this thing for years. I didn't want to mention it to anyone, and doesn't matter what I think it is.

It's up there. I can see it every day in the early morning hours. I knew people would notice it sooner or later.

Best footage of what I see in the morning.​
