There is a study that gives an explanation on why it’s not an alien structure but rather something else:
When a star is oblate, it has a larger radius at its equator than it does at its poles. As a result, the poles have a higher surface gravity, and thus higher temperature and brightness. Thus, the poles are “gravity brightened”, and the equator “gravity darkened.”
The star becomes oblate (and hence gravity darkening occurs) because the centrifugal force resulting from rotation creates additional outward pressure on the star.
This creates patches of darker and lighter regions within these kinds of stars, so the light curves that make it back to Earth won’t look completely uniform. What’s more, planets often orbit “obliquely” from Earth’s perspective and do not pass directly in front of a star.
This sounds bit far fetched. Although it is smart to not jump to conclusions about aliens, not sure about this explanation. What do you think? Feel free to comment.
thanks to techinsider.io for the great info
thanks to Kevin Gill for the pic
Of course there will be explanations other than aliens no one wants to be the guy screaming aliens except Georgio
No they always said it most likely was not aliens.
Sorry but I refuse to believe in a limitless space of billions of planets that people are the only living thing
You news type people are the only one who have been saying its aliens. The scientist who hinted at it being aliens even said that they should be the last hypothesis anyone comes to. He had to come back and redo his statement because bad science reporting ran with aliens at first mention. You report sensationalism, aka bad science.
Science never said it was from aliens. One person said it is passing and that was all. Never trust the media. All they care about is ratings.
But perhaps we are the most advanced thing in our local universe.
yep it was a space weather balloon I knew it
What a bunch of hippy, dippy, balogny, I would have believed it more if they said its bc of a black hole absorbing the star, gravity and light and oblate shaped star is a theory but I would believe it’s aliens b4 that
Every report I read claimed that aliens were the last assumption to make. They never said it was actually aliens..grr
Oh now starts the cover up. Don’t worry folks nothing to see here but a weather balloon! Swap gas cause by the planet Venus ! Go about your day its all okay!
“They” were never saying it was aliens.. Some$#%&!@*speculated and the idiot press ran with the click bate.
Why is it so hard for these fcktards to accept the fact that there are other beings out there and other beings with higher intellect that humans. Do u think we are alone in the universe u damn retards!!!
I seen this conclusion a mile back
Anybody else no phased by rhe article but irritated it took 2 ad filled pages for 1 paragraph of useless information?
Got to love speculation, 90% of the news and stock trades.
Click bait sites like this one said it was aliens. Not scientists. I’m sick of these pseudo science pages posting garbage everyday. And that is a ridiculous rendering.
whats an alien star………
