Imagine being a ant in a ant mound way out in the middle of a rain forest and never knowing that humans exist that build sky scrapers...

[websurfer]

It's possible that they already know more about this than they're telling us and this is part of disclosure.

James webb telescope should have the answer.
If it could picture stars from the early stages of the universe then picturing this one should be a piece of cake for it.
I guess 🤔

[legend]

James Webb should take a look at Tabby's star and find out what's blocking the light from it. This could be one of the biggest discoveries ever made.

[irenazajacova]

500 thousand ahead of us? I'd say like 20 million ahead of us if not more.

[hatmbkr]

It could simply be like a molten piece of metal. When it cools from the outside, the glow diminishes!

NASA should start sending messages towards this planet. I know some scientists may think that it's a stupid idea to send messages towards a alien civilisation because they may take our resources.
But why would they need our resources if they know how to harness the power of a sun it's just stupid to think that because if aliens are 100× more advanced then as then why are they seeing them as a threat they should be seeing them as a opportunity to help as.

[marashdemnika]

Imagine able to see aliens megastructures with your own eyes, that would truly be something.

[Estoooopid]

To me it sounds like someone is trying to mine their last bitcoin..😂

[primodernious]

more likely a singularity formed by a planet condensed into a black hole using a neutron beam.

[bernieh]

Like a wise man said " science is the pursuit of ignorance " you would get there you would have to rethink everything you think you

[garypowell]

So why doesn't JWST take a look at it ?

[thedogecoinmultimillionair]

I don’t understand the comments below me 😂 you guys make me 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[tterminator]

I wish lol
Pls megastructure our star, aliens

[patrickbuechel]

There are planetary space craft 8 times larger than Jupiter, , , thats a fleet of planet size spacecraft heading this way

[thisismyusername]

So why the heck dont we try and do something like a dyson sphere to our sun? We wouldnt even need 1/10000TH of the solar panels.

[jackastor]

Dyson spheres are not possible due to constraints on matter.

[mustafaabdullahmutasimjala]

Could a God- Like Israelite Thirteen Tribes mega structure exist? Where you think melaNine enriched people are from ande return to while we sleep?

[sobakathehusky]

Oh man, just no. No more please. The drama. No.

[Howzit]

😂 "It can't be another star or planet that blocks out the light because it would simply need to be huge BUT it can be something made by intelegent beings"... Yeah right and that makes absolute sense?
