"I work for NASA as an astronomer, and there are certain things we keep hidden from the public. No, the Earth isn't flat, and aliens don't control the government. ****, I wish those were the case, as the truth is much, much worse.
In 1993, the Hubble Space Telescope saw a star disappear. It didn't go supernova, or die naturally, it simply went dark, over the span of a few minutes.
In 2007, two more stars vanished. Due to the circumstances of this event, this was much more concerning."
