Researchers from the University of Columbia and the University of California, Berkley, have revealed news on the star KIC 8462852, which has been believed to have a dyson sphere around it - a theoretical megastructure built by an advanced civilization meant to catch and use the energy from a star.

It might not be a dyson sphere after all
The star was believed to have a dyson sphere orbiting around it because of the variations on the brightness that the star emits, only explainable by a enormous object orbiting it.
But according to the researchers, the reason behind the reduction on the dimness of the star was most likely caused because the star has consumed a planet nearby, or smaller objects such as moons, which would explain the fluctuations

A disappointing answer for space enthusiasts
Althought not fully confirmed, the explanation given above seems to be the most correct one to date. A disappointing explanation for most space enthusiasts, but we have to go with science explanations nevertheless.
Which leaves us again with the question: are we alone in the universe?

Disappointing, but one could hope.

Sad part is whatever it was happened a long time ago so we will never know.
You should consider including a source for your images. Including a source not only gives credit to who made the images but shows you put time and effort into making your post. This may make people more likely to vote on it.
If images are Public Domain or CC0 you could just indicate that at the end of your post. All photos are Public Domain for example.
Finding the original source isn't necessary. A link to where you found it will do.
Thanks for the remark!
