Twitter action has been fast and furious with this morning’s news of the first clear dip in light from Boyajian’s Star (KIC 8462852) since the Kepler data.

I’m on the road most of today and so couldn’t get off a full post, but I did want to pass along Tabetha Boyajian’s newsletter, short but sweet.

Hello all,

We have detected a dip in progress!

Not much time to share details – we are working hard coordinating followup observations.

Here is a snapshot of LCO data for the Month of May. Stay tuned!
