Enter an enormous star called VVV-WIT that is located closer to the center of The Milky Way, about 25 million light-years away from Planet Earth? Scientists have identified that its brightness is dimming down to about 3.3% of its maximum luster for several months before gradually returning to its previous luminosity. Yeah, this wasn’t just a momentary disappearance. This was a 200 day-long event that had scientists scratching their heads and blinking furiously in their own right. Why has VVV-WIT been disappearing on us and acting like an overworked husband when his young secretary is in town ? What out there is so large and enigmatically powerful that it almost completely blot out a star that is almost 100 times larger than our Sun?
