Scientists dread that the monster star disappears without a trace

The star, which is about 75 million light years away, in the Galax of the Kinman Midget can't be seen anymore, and scientists don't know why.

Scientists reported mysterious extinction when they tried to see the star understand how the stars died of enormous size. The star was constantly studied from 2001 until 2011, with the observations showing that he should be in the final stages of his life, and so was a perfect target for research.

But we were surprised to realize that the star was gone! Andrew Allan, the scientist who had led the study, explained Periscopi.

One theory says that the star may have lost his light and was filled with dust. But, more unusual, the star may have died, not blown up in a supernova, and instead collapsed into a black hole.

If this is true, this would be the first direct detection when such a monster star ends his life in this form,” said Allan.

Such a discovery can change our understanding of how mass stars die.

Previously, it was thought that all the massive stars when they die explode in the supernova. /Periscope
