This mischievous star is located 75 million light-years away in the Kinman Dwarf Galaxy, a BCD, or blue compact dwarf galaxy also called PHL 293B, in the constellation Aquarius. Between 2001 and 2011, various teams of astronomers have studied this mysterious massive star, and now it was 2019 and it was time to have another look. To their great surprise, though, the star had disappeared! It was by far the brightest thing in this little galaxy, and it was just plain gone.

Now you see it, now you don't!
