A giant star which was under the observation of astronomers for over ten years has suddenly vanished. The star in question was located in a dwarf galaxy 75 million light-years away, 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
The star was located in a very far off galaxy, making its detection and observation very difficult. The astronomers observed it based on its signature, which was picked up and then analysed, instead of a direct observation. A highly unstable blue star, researchers picked up its signature between 2001-2011.
It is typical of stars to go out with a bang, or what is known as a supernova. To be succinct - when a star runs out of fuel, it is simply killed by its own gravity. Whatever remains of that star bursts off and shatters into the universe.
Following this logic, the star in question should have left debris, or any signs of explosion. In fact, the explosion itself would have been massive enough to make it easily detectable. But none of this happened.

“They finished the dyson sphere.”
Maybe the Ringworld has now moved into an edge on position relative to us and is now blocking the starlight.
The article describes it as a blue variable, and highly unpredictable.
Observers didn’t observe it. They picked up its signature between 2001-2011. When they went back recently to observe it, they found no signature.
A signature is a star’s emission spectrum and its absorption spectrum.
So the star didn’t just disappear.
Because of the law of conservation of matter and energy, the star didn’t just disappear.
Scientists have no explanation for their inability to detect any signature. That is not the same as “the massive star just disappeared.”
Perhaps there was no star there, and there is another reason for seeing the signature back in 2001-2011.

Dyson Sphere on!
Intergalactic looting?
David Copperfield working at an astronomical distance is my guess.
“A star just disappeared, leaving behind no trace”
Like all the rest of the WOKEs.
If a “Star” comes out for BLM-Antifa-Alphabet People etc . . . their career vanishes, as far as most conservatives are concerned.
There was a terrible ghastly silence.
There was a terrible ghastly noise.
There was a terrible ghastly silence.
The Vogon Constructor Fleet coasted away into the inky starry void.
I think I know who took it.
Beaver: “Golly Wally, what am I gonna do now?’’
Wally “Gee Beav when Dad finds out you took that star, he’ll go ape!’’
Beaver: “You’re not gonna squeal are you?’’
Wally Of course I’m gonna squeal. Ya did it, didn’t cha’?’’
The embarrassed astronomers quickly retracted the story when they realized they had simply forgotten to remove the lens cap from their telescope.
Mawell star
Any possibility it is BEHIND a larger object???
Eaten by a Black Hole?
(Black Holes Matter, even 75 million years ago)
It is just in the beginning of it’s collapse. It will take a couple of days to fully collapse and go full super nova (say, isn’t that a good car for drag racing???)
it took one look at the DNC Democrapic Commie Nazi party
and
committed suicide
Did it have dirt on Hillary?
