Strange Dips in Starlight

by bundrew

I noticed there was an odd dipping pattern within the Kepler data. Over about a day, starlight would fade on average, but there would still be some higher spikes in the light interspersed throughout that period. Any ideas what that might be? Just normal variance in light or some feature on or in front of the star?
