Do you think it's just an artifact from the plates on the telescope, or some natural phenomenon that causes a huge dimming over a certain period, or is it an alien megastructure that causes the dimming ?

Why you think its natural phenomenon ?

probably not
>or some natural phenomenon that causes a huge dimming over a certain period
its probably a planet during orbital decay shedding its atmosphere or some weird formation of comets
>>
>>8117256
This. It's just comets.
>>
But it's too irregular to be comets scientifics said
>>
its obviously *boring thing that makes me look sensible when i say it*
>>
It's been months how come it's not btfo already? Nobody bothers with it?
>>
>>8117547
If it's irregular, it isn't an orbiting megastructure either.

And a shitload of comments in different orbits wouldn't be regular, unlike an orbiting super structure.

>>8117241
Why would you assume otherwise?
>>
>>8117580
its irregular because its an orbiting megastructure under construction
>>
>>8117245
You mean the star has some kind of belt of asteroids?
>>
>>8117594
>>8117724
>construction

I mean, if we're going there, it's probably decaying, not being built.
>>
>>8117783
On the contrary, if the star is dimming over time it means the construction is progressing, as it cover more and more of the star.
>>
>>8117594
it has dropped 16% over a century, so another 3 or 4 centuries. Those guy are lucky to be living in such a wide time window

Its pandora's star without the forcefields
