And just to add on... Has Kepler seen 20% dips on any other stars? What were the reasons?

I believe that is the star's designation. The planet would be something like KOI-1573b or KOI-1573.02.

The companion star that is 130 Billion miles from #KIC8462852, what is its name? What do we know about it? Are the two stars a binary pair?

Have certain ideas evolved since publishing the WTF paper? Or are all these hypothesis stagnant until more observations are made?

Has anyone contributed a new feasible idea from any community of fellow scientists, the media, or the social media community since this became public? Seems like you have already covered all ideas that I see people ask you. Anything new that has made you stop and think?

"I think we WOULD call it..." oh, so the M star that is 885 AU from Tabby's is not necessarily proven to exist yet? And therefor you can't say if it is a binary system or just transisting by yet?

Based on the Kepler sample size and results to date, how close to earth can we expect TESS to find a new Earth-analog planet?
