We are going to need a Tree, some cats and an enchantment of Dramliza if we want to save the galaxy.

Probably something to do with the Higgs boson. I wonder if fifteen billion bucks more spent on a Larger Hadron Collider could solve the mystery.../s.

Went into a black hole? Would the hole remain black in that case? It would if the gravitational pull was so great that light waves could not escape.

If its 75 million light years away it didnt just go out. It went out 75 million light years ago. It's possible that the universe was destroyed millions of years ago. But we still have millions of years to go before we find out and it's Independence Day weekend. So cheer up and have a frozen margarita!

I’m reminded the final line of a great science fiction story by the great Arthur C. Clarke: “The Nine Billion Names of God”.
“Overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out.”

While it may be light we were observing from 75 million light years ago, in the last 75M LY plus 10+ years we were watching it and then it was gone. No big bang. I suspect the Clintons had something to do with it. ;-)

Black hole, object in the way, any number of reasons.

Clearly, after ten years of being patient, the star got tired of waiting to be recompensed for posing...
Who wouldn't quit and just walk away?
