I've heard of a lot more variable stars over the last few years, all of them having unusually low dips.

The explanation is simple--I'm noticing now, and I didn't before--but it's amusing to imagine there's some other reasons. Aliens building Dyson swarms, whatever. Never mind that the timeline doesn't work out...



More likely better telescopes


Or an increase in carbon soot in the stars atmosphere. Or unstable core configurations that shortly precludes going supernova.
