The most mysterious star in the universe | Tabetha Boyajian

Passing this on. Most of you know of this star and possibly having an alien structure around it. I don't know if this is a dated TED Talk or not. Gotta love the asinine comments

Published on Apr 29, 2016 Something massive, with roughly 1,000 times the area of Earth, is blocking the light coming from a distant star known as KIC 8462852, and nobody is quite sure what it is. As astronomer Tabetha Boyajian investigated this perplexing celestial object, a colleague suggested something unusual: Could it be an alien-built megastructure? Such an extraordinary idea would require extraordinary evidence. In this talk, Boyajian gives us a look at how scientists search for and test hypotheses when faced with the unknown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gypAjPp6eps
