If we can’t explain it then it must be aliens. Good thing we’re no longer naïve enough to say it must be demons.

Whatever we are observing is what happened about 1230 years ago....no? Maybe the star blew up 1210 years ago and no longer exists...but we’ll find out after its long gone...hey..maybe all that dark matter is new material interjected into the universe whose light hasnt reached us yet...or is not strong enough to reach us....
