A star has gone missing, and they don't know what happened to it:

Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have discovered the absence of an unstable massive star in a dwarf galaxy. Scientists think this could indicate that the star became less bright and partially obscured by dust. An alternative explanation is that the star collapsed into a black hole without producing a supernova. “If true,” says team leader and PhD student Andrew Allan of Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, “this would be the first direct detection of such a monster star ending its life in this manner.”

Dyson Swarm, it’s the only logical explanation

It's a mighty big vacuum cleaner that can suck up a star.

In space, nobody can hear how noisy your overpriced vacuum cleaner really is.
