Scientists are still racking their brains over the question of what changes the level of light emitted by the star KIC 8462852, which is commonly known as Tabby's star. This is reported in a number of authoritative scientific publications abroad.
Recall that the star Tabby attracted the attention of the scientific world in September last year. Then astronomers were interested in the constant variability of the glow intensity of a space object. Scientists have put forward several theories, one of which says that the star is surrounded by asteroids that block its light. However, after a while, the researchers had a more daring assumption, according to which KIC 8462852 are closing artificial structures.
After that, the media was full of news that Tabby's star could be enclosed in the so-called Dyson sphere or surrounded by an artificially created orbital ring. Then the scientists made a statement that at this time it is not worth talking about it, since there is no evidence for such a sensation yet. Let us summarize that just a couple of days ago, the media started talking about a new theory, according to which there are several large comets near KIC 8462852, however, this assumption has not been proven.
