Yes! And below is a link from NASA about this. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/strange-star-likely-swarmed-by-comets

Very good! Excellent analysis!

What do you think about the hypothesis published in the site below ? The author claims about a kind of "spheroidal shape" star, a gravity darkened star with different grades of brightness in poles and equator. He suggests then multiple planets crossing this kind of non uniformly brightness...

Great ! Good to know !

Thank you ! I was wondering which of those dips in light could have been seen from telescopes in Earth (professional or amateur). I don't think they would like to send another kepler observatory to the sky... The guys below also sent me some hints. I understand that amateurs will be able to see...

Thank you! I

Please, could anyone kill my curiosity. From observations in Earth (from large observatory telescopes or amateur astronomers like AAVSO) how big is the dip we can register ? Something like 5% for large telescopes and 15% for amateur astronomers?
