Astronomy / Space A Massive Star Has Disappeared Without a Trace

[Manticore]

An object inside the Kinman dwarf galaxy has disappeared from view, according to new research published today in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. This massive and exceptionally bright blue star was hypothesised to exist based on astronomical observations made between 2001 and 2011, but as of 2019, it is no longer detectable.

Somebody finished a Dyson sphere.

Who would be mad enough to build a Dyson Sphere around a star like that..
"LBVs are massive unstable supergiant (or hypergiant) stars that show a variety of spectroscopic and photometric variation, most obviously periodic outbursts and occasional much larger eruptions."

Since this galaxy is 75 million light years away the information we're getting is 75 million years old.

By now these Dyson sphere architects would be even more super advanced possibly, or more likely over such a large time scale, now extinct.
