The first time I read about the missing star was a few days ago, when I was taking a break from reading the book, "The Edge" by Koji Suzuki and found the news recommended to me by Google. This was creepy because "The Edge" is about a world where everything is slowly disappearing, including massive stars
Yeah, the developers must have temporarily removed the star in a patch note between 2011 and 2019 to fix a ground-breaking glitch involving it. Hopefully it'll be back functioning in the next patch.
@buffalo wt If you think about it, due to massive heat from the star, they had to build it outside in 2 pieces and just moved in position after building it. Makes sense..
it's a Hollywood child-star. they tend to just vanish without a trace and nobody ever sees them again. They're out there somewhere, it's just that nobody cares anymore enough to notice.
"No, no, no! That's all been done before! Coins, tables, cars, elephants... Just a couple years ago some other magician made a whole cruise ship disappear... What I need is something... BIGGER!"
The crazy thing is that this happened years ago. We’re just seeing it now because of how long it takes light to travel that distance. I sometimes forget the stars we see are in the past.
At least someone in the astrophysics community is sane enough to name a very large telescope a "very large telescope" and not something random and overly complicated like "CPLO3GJG46GSVU"
You say "A star disappeared", I say "The precursors fired off their slipspace drive and dropped their shield world into slipspace. And no one knows where they went."
I love how excited he is about space, I wish he did all the quantum physics stuff too, it can be hard to get your head around, so hearing it from someone so enthused really helps
Another possibilities to consider: 1. (already mentioned) It was obscured by Dyson sphere. 2. It was suddenly gravitationally ejected away. 3. It glitched into parallel universe (like my keys last month). 4. ... 5. Profit! PS. "Love" when scientists make unnecessary hype omitting Occam's razor (yes, I know it's not fullproof, still).
Probably the opposite of star lifting, some pissed off alien terrorist just added a huge amount of mass/energy so fast it collapsed into a black hole and skipped the supernova stage and killed off all life in that star system.
Well, that's certainly interesting! Incidentally, I wonder: Since when we look into telescopes, we're seeing light years away, & thus, technically seeing light from many years past (As in, what happened before.), how long does your average Supernova last? How long does it stay visible on a telescope?
Depends on distance. The most distant will be visible as a flash for a few hours. Those closer to home however can be seen for months as the hot gas undergoes radioactive decay, or even years as a nebula forms. As noted here it's possible what we thought of as a bright star was actually a supernova's gas interacting with other material.
“Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert! by contributing institutions or for the use of any information through the EurekAlert system.” This was written under a sources’ article in the description. I wonder what it means...
If I understand correctly, the lifespan of a star depends on its mass, and its mass mostly depends on how much material was in the dust cloud that it formed from. If I'm correct on that, I wonder if it's theoretically possible for a star to form that's so massive, it immediately starts to collapse in on itself?
I can remember when the origin of the moon as a result of a collision with earth was "fringe" science - just like the guy who was ridiculed when he suggested plate tectonics - both now established mainstream science FACT - just saying - pays to keep an open mind - the history of science is filled with people mocked, scorned, ridiculed for their outrageous ideas - at the time - pays to keep an open mind about people, ideas, theories
It does pays to keep an open mind, but there is a massive difference between a “fringe” scientist with a hypothesis with not enough evidence to confirm it into a theory at that point; and crackpots making up theories with zero evidence to support them. An easy example of a crackpot theory. The history channel series that’s basic premise is: “Aliens directly, or indirectly, built every awe-inspiring ancient structure, not directly attributable to modern Europeans.”
Yes, now let's talk about panspermia.... just don't bring school attendance statistics into it, it doesn't fly well... But Fred may yet have the last laugh.
"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident" - Schopenhauer
It would? Unstable, out-gassing near-supernova ones? Why not break them up into more manageable red dwarfs that burn longer (And due to being fully convective, actually fuse all their hydrogen.)
imagine having a spaceship near a giant blue star & then all the sudden it implodes into a balck hole! whata sight that must be! ..... damn i hate not being part of a truly spacefaring civilisation!
Its also possible that when stars reach a certain size they tend to tear themselves apart. From the gravity, temperature and pressure with in. Meaning the star falls apart before it go supernova or collapse into a black hole.
Im guessing it's too far away to say that spacetime curved in such a way that it blocked out the star. Then again, we would just see it in a different location.
I have often wondered why we have not gone back to the Moon. I understand there have been tragic events trying to go back. I still think it would be worth going back.
Because the first push was largely about cold war politics with science as an aside. But there are stirrings once more from several countries so perhaps we'll indeed be back in the following decades.

Einstein: Yes that is true. But the answers have changed. Fairies and goblins might exist. God and dark matter might exist. I believe Steven Hawking at one time thought that an event horizon might exist. But electricity, magnetism and gravity do exist. Occam's Razor is the principle that, "non sunt multiplicanda entia praeter necessitatem" [i.e., "don't multiply the agents in a theory beyond what's necessary."] If two competing theories explain a single phenomenon, and they both generally reach the same conclusion, and they are both equally persuasive and convincing, and they both explain the problem or situation satisfactorily, the logician should always pick the less complex one. The one with the fewer number of moving parts, so to speak, is most likely to be correct. “Space News from the Electric Universe” provides the counterweight to a variety of views held by the mainstream. The E.U. maintain that electricity is in fact the primal force in the universe. Their view allows for objects such as these to vary electrically or even simply turn off. Happy hunting.
Maybe the reason why it levels off at a certain point as far as the permittivity is because to create any different metals other than I do now it needs to have a significantly higher impact so maybe that's the case but I don't know
I can imagine how they named the VLT. scientist 1: "Hey we build this telescope, how should we name it?" scientist 2: Well, its a very large one, so maybe...." scientist 1: "Okay, Very Large Telescope it is!"

It is not surprising that a star can directly collapse into a black hole without an explosion.
could it have just been a data error? that’s usually one of the first things that need to be considered in the face of a shocking event
Doubt it was, they were studying the star for a long time. Most likely approach is that it collapsed into a black hole through photodisintegration.
