a star was dimming but why on May 19th a star known as kic 8 4 6 - 8 5 - started dipping in brightness the star is also known as tabby star named after astronomer Tabitha voyage eon tabby star is around 1300 light-years away from Earth it was first discovered in 2011 data collected by the Kepler space telescope revealed that tabby star emitted life patterns unlike any of the 150,000 stars Kepler had recorded when dimming of stars is observed it means something is passing in front of it oddly the dips in brightness of tabby star did not follow any obvious patterns if a planet is responsible for dimming it usually occurs in regular intervals also that light dimmed from 3 percent to more than 20 percent so what's causing this dimming here are the possibilities voyage eon thinks it could be a duplicate of an event that happened several years ago observed by the Kepler space telescope that would suggest it is the same object passing in front of the star some people like astronomer Jason Wright postulate the dimming could be caused by huge mega structures that are orbiting the star so maybe aliens caused this right now there are no firm findings on what exactly passes in front of tabi star by Monday May 22nd the dip seemed to be over and tabby star was returning to its normal brightness for more information check out cnet.com am i as a cardinal see you online
