My favs, all available via the Google:

Bad Astronomer, Dr. Phil Plait blogged about it.

Universe Today, Fraser Cain has a great science team and this came up the other day.

It really is all over the science blogosphere.

Use the Google, my friend. The star's designation is KIC 8462852. Google that and you'll see all you want.
