Astronomy / Space Where's the Flux?

This is not Elite related, but it is space related so I thought I'd post it here (apologies if this is the wrong place to post it).

The Kepler telescope found something interesting. Something very interesting, and some clever people need your help.

There is an explanation on the Kickstarter page, and a good video providing more background:

Move to astronomy.

Aha! Thanks TJ, for the life of me I couldn't see this section.

There are many previous threads about KIC 8462852

EDIT >>> Doesn't mean there can't be one more - I was not criticizing, just informing and mentioning the actual subject name - Unless you prefer Tabby's Star or the OP's referenced (acronym deleted) Star.

SECOND EDIT >>> The forum doesn't like me using the acronym for the ""Where is The Flux" Star - it's just initials!

Success! I'm glad to report the Kickstarter campaign achieved the required amount.

There are so many sub sections in here, it's surprising anyone can find anything.

I'm still looking for a section dealing with general issues. Ah well, much like the game ED, this forum seems to be about impressions of scale rather than content.
