DESCRIPTION:The star KIC8462852 captured the public's imagination just ove
 r a year ago when it was reported in the media that the star may be harbou
 ring an alien mega-structure. This claim was based on one interpretation o
 f the bizarre light-curve of the star\, which showed that the star's brigh
 tness dims significantly and erratically on timescales of days. There has 
 been much effort since this discovery to characterise the behaviour of the
  star\, and to understand what astrophysical phenomenon we are witnessing.
  This talk will consider the evidence\, which points (for now) to a family
  of exocomets orbiting the star.\n\n\nAll talks and obsnights are free to 
 members (or cost £2 for non-members) – membership can be bought (£12 l
 ife\, £7 annual) at any of our events.
