Unexplained Dimmings in KIC 8462852
The star KIC 8462852, observed by NASA's Kepler satellite, shows unexplained dimmings in its brightness. Its light can drop by as much as 20 percent for months, then recover, a pattern not easily explained by orbiting planets or dust. Citizen scientists working with Kepler data first spotted this unusual behavior.
