KIC 8462852

The constellation of Cygnus
The constellation of Cygnus
  • ... that KIC 8462852 in Cygnus (pictured) will be searched for signs of alien civilisation?
  • ALT1 ... that Tabby's star in Cygnus (pictured) will be searched for signs of alien civilisation?
  • ALT2 ... that Tabby's star in Cygnus (pictured) with very unusual objects in orbit, is being searched for signs of alien civilisation?

Created by Spudst3r (talk) and Drbogdan (talk). Nominated by Andrew Davidson (talk) at 11:52, 18 October 2015 (UTC). Comment - Things are happening fast. The SETI Institute already started scanning the vicinity of the star for radio transmissions. Cheers, BatteryIncluded (talk) 13:27, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Template:Replyto Thanks for the comment. As you're already familiar with the topic, perhaps you could do a timely review here, please? Andrew D. (talk) 13:59, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
I am unfamiliar with procedures. My review is ALT2. Cheers, BatteryIncluded (talk) 14:07, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
Since you and Drbogdan are the top contributors to the article,[1] I don't think you are eligible to review the hook, although I'm sure someone will chime in here to correct me if I'm wrong as the rules are somewhat hazy on this point (the DYKmake wikitext below indicates you are receiving credit for this hook). FWIW, is there any evidence that this star is actively referred to as "Tabby's star"? I'm asking because after reading all of the literature and listening to all the interviews and podcasts, I don't recall seeing that term in use. Viriditas (talk) 22:12, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Comment in orbit is speculation at this point. The objects don't have to be gravitational bound to the star (though it's likely). Gap9551 (talk) 22:15, 21 October 2015 (UTC) Template:Reflist-talk
