I’ve been following the developments regarding star KIC 8462852 for some time and am (still) keeping an open mind on it. I look forward to additional information as further studies are done.

I’m beginning to wonder if there isn’t some type of nebula gas structure between us and the star and what we’re seeing is changes in the gas density.

Technically you don’t see or hear anything in real time. There is always a delay even if it is tiny.

My first thought was that the irregular dimming was evidence of a shadow square malfunction.

Actually, someone should ask Larry Niven if he has any ideas about this.
