Cant imagine what its made out of
To: BenLurkin
How many light years away is/was this star?
So then, how long ago did it disappear?
Maybe, just maybe, the Angel of The Lord got off his resting place, and is headed this way at Warp speed.

Fluke Starbucker : Jeepers! What is it, Augie Ben Doggie? Did you feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced?
Auggie Ben Doggie : No, just a little headache.

Hi.
Somebody lost their star and planet eater.
I saw it on Star Trek. The thing looks like a spliff, or a almond cheese cake funnel.
Imho of course

Yeah they always fail to mention that this did not just happen. It happened 75 million year ago.

The astronomers observed it based on its signature, which was picked up and then analysed, instead of a direct observation. So they never actually saw the thing and it only existed because their computer models told them it did.
Of course computer models can never be wrong so surely it must have been real.

A massive star in a far-off galaxy just disappeared...It didn't JUST disappear. The star was 75 million light years away. It disappeared 75 million years ago, but we just found out about it now.
Not sure why I'd have any interest in what happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Probably it disappeared millions of years ago and we were just looking at the light it had sent out and finally came to an end.

Theres no point acting all surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display in your local planning
department in Alpha Centauri for fifty of your Earth years, so youve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and its far too late to start
making a fuss about it now.

and was one of the largest stars in the known universe. The star, which was 2.5 times brighter than the Sun, left no trace behind
Largest star and 2.5 times brighter than the sun? Nope, that fails the common sense test. Editor gets an F in science.
Other real science sites say it was 2.5 MILLION times as bright as the sun. That makes sense to be seen from 75 million light years.

How true. Whatever happened, happened millions of years in the past.
