Apparently it&#x27;s just KIC 8462852, unfortunately, also known as TYC 3162-665-1 and 2MASS J20061546+4427248. Snappy names.<p>The paper says it&#x27;s 12th magnitude so it&#x27;s way, <i>way</i> dimmer than is visible to the human eye.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;KIC_8462852" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;KIC_8462852</a>
