Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), scientists recently witnessed an unstable, massive star in a dwarf galaxy 75 million light-years away has disappeared without a trace. A team of astronomers between 2001 and 2011 examined the mysterious massive star, located in the Kinman Dwarf galaxy. They noticed that the star was in the late stages of its lifespan. However, things took an amusing turn when they pointed out ESO’s VLT to the distant galaxy in 2019. To their surprise, the astronomers found that the star had disappeared. The researchers will now get a closer look at the star’s future once the ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) comes into action in 2025.
