Astronomers may have to think a little harder to solve the mystery of Boyajian's star. NASA's planet-hunting Kepler space telescope spotted these dimming events. Researchers have come up with many ...

A MYSTERIOUSLY pulsing star within our galaxy keeps exhibiting strange behaviour that can’t be explained by any known phenomena. A new paper published to the open source science journal arXiv has ...

An artist's illustration depicting a hypothetical dust ring orbiting Tabby's star, more formally known as KIC 846. Well, we always knew the alien-megastructure idea was a long shot. E.T. has nothing ...

Last year, alien-hunters trained massive radio telescopes on a distant galaxy after planet-hunters spotted what might be an alien ‘megastructure’ orbiting a star. The star, KIC 8462852, dimmed by 22%, ...

The KIC 8462852 was spotted in 2015 by an online astronomy crowdsourcing group Planet Hunters. The mysterious star was theorised to have an ‘alien megastructure’ surrounding it, after experts and ...

If intelligent aliens actually do live around Tabby's star, astronomers are determined to find them. The Breakthrough Listen initiative, which will spend $100 million over the next 10 years to hunt ...

ASTRONOMERS have crunched the numbers for an explanation of the weird flickering of a distant star. Instead of alien engineering, it’s probably indigestion. Speculation has swirled around KIC 8462852 ...

It's looking less and less likely that a faraway star's strange dimming was caused by some kind of "alien megastructure." Observations by NASA's Kepler space telescope recently revealed that the star ...

Astronomers have their best solution yet to the mysterious alien megastructure star Scientists have a new explanation for Tabby’s Star’s mysterious dimming. Rather than an alien megastructure, a dying ...

THE world was electrified last year when it was suggested that scientists had spotted an "alien megastructure" orbiting a distant star. Now a space boffin has suggested huge extraterrestrial ...
