Artist’s impression of what the luminous blue variable star in the Kinman Dwarf galaxy could have looked like before its mysterious disappearance

Located more than 70 million light-years away in the constellation of Aquarius, this star is part of the Kinman Dwarf galaxy. The first is that the star may have become less luminous and is being partially obscured by dust, and the second, more intriguing, suggestion is that the star collapsed into a black hole without exploding as a bright supernova.Andrew Allan, a PhD student at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, who led the research, said if the star indeed collapsed and mysteriously vanished, ‘this would be the first direct detection of such a monster star ending its life in this manner’.

At 75 million light-years away, it is too far away for astronomers to see but the researchers were able to confirm the star’s presence by examining the data that revealed its unique chemical signature.

I've had the equipment checked and there's nothing wrong with it too. So in isolated spots this is already happening. 40C = 104° f. Thats HOT.
