KIC 8462852 has dimmed again.

They're powering up the Starkiller.

[LordBaal]

Luckily de hav.... Oh crap we killed Hand Solo... well it was nice to know you guys.

[TempAcc]

Hand solo sounds like a very descriptive euphemism for masturbation

[LordBaal]

Hahahaha damn autocorrect. What's weird is that it's in spanish and I'm sure hand is not a spanish word.

[Starver]

Not today it isn't, but maño na?
_{Attempting a oontrived pun in a foreign tongue...  Probably failed.}

[TempAcc]

That sounded more like a jojo stand name than spanish.

MANO NA

If a Jupiter-sized (Or larger) planet got flung into space, its moons could conceivably have life similar to what we might hope to find on Europa---supported by volcanic vents on the ocean floor, which are themselves created by the tidal forces of the large planet's gravity flexing the moon.

With large enough moons and a deep enough atmosphere you'd have a few million years possibly before the KH heating died out.

As for KIC 8675309 (I GOT IT!) that's fascinating, I look forward to the enhanced attention it will get this time.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence and not Pathos' Space Empire refiling their Annihilator Fleet.

[LordBaal]

I dunno, maybe it could be a dense asteroid cluster or gas clouds that are passing by or somewhat rapidly and erraticly orbiting the star.

[Starver]

You say that as of that's not also very interesting.

[LordBaal]

Well, not eveything is fun and games and unfathomable cosmic horrors coming to drink the life of or sun and the souls of our bodies.

I still get a little choked up hearing them crackle and pop away into the sky, I was heartbroken watching the last shuttle launch a few years back.

Probably the best method would be using earth to give gravity assists to millions of asteroids, slowly changing earth's orbit. Especially since you can give a gravity assist multiple times.

You naive fool, all we need is Archimedes with a really long hammer...

"Archimedes Really Long Hammer" sounds like an excellent name for a big asteroid.
