Allegedly There Alien Star Mystery Finally Revealed, Engage 200 researchers and Cost Expensive

At the end of May last year, Kompas.com once preached about the strange behavior of a star called KIC 8462852, or also known as star or star Tabby Boyajian. It has been a long time we know that a lot of stars in the universe experienced dimming. One was due to planets italicpassing in front of him.However, this one is different. In observation for a hundred years (1890-1989) Boyajian showed significant dimming trend. In fact, astronomers when it was said that this never happens to an F-type star anywhere. Behavior that is difficult to explain this allows astronomers curious and called Boyajian as the most mysterious star in the world. Not least also suspect that Boyajian wrapped by a gigantic structure built by aliens.
Assisted by crowdfunding, a detailed study of 22 months (March 2016-December 2017) involving 200 researchers and spent considering finally uncovered the mystery Boyajian. The research team focused observe strange luster of star shape Boyajian and learn what they see. Published in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters, the researchers revealed that in fact there was dust spinning in front Boyajian makes dimming behavior became bizarre. This dust is ancient dust that comes from the remnants of the destroyed planet or star.
"This is the dust that old-fashioned, we see this dust created more than 1,000 years ago. This is almost certainly caused by something unusual, at least not on the scale of cosmic," said the authors of the paper, as quoted from the Independent, Wednesday (3/1 / 2018). "The dust is most likely the reason why the star's light is dimmed and then brightened. The new data show that the various colors of light is blocked at a different intensity," said Tabetha Boyajian, an astronomer whose name is used for this star. "So far we do know is if solid and opaque as megrastruktur alien passes in front of it, and it will block out the light. It turned out that this star does not behave like that," said Boyajian reported by National Geographic, Wednesday (01/03/2018 ). Tabby star strange behavior captured by scientists through a large amount of data generated by NASA's Kepler mission in search of a new planet in 2011 ago.
