KIC 8462852 star does not dim because of aliens

The KIC star has become famous for its strange and inexplicable behavior. In 2011 and 2013, the Kepler mission observed that the starlight dimmed dramatically because something big was passing and blocking its light. A new study using data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope supports the explanation of a collision of planets or asteroids, which obscured the star’s shine in our direction.

NASA has revealed new findings that explain the flashing light phenomenon of projected by star KIC 8462852. The extraterrestrial theories lose strength, as the findings point to a collision of planets or asteroids.
