In 2014, a star in Andromeda flared and vanished. Ten years later, Webb found a warm glow: it was hiding behind dust. It's not a black hole but a shrouded star — a rare 'quiet death' without an explosion.
🎯 Astronomers first noticed 'quiet' stars only in the early 2000s. Since then, fewer than a dozen such objects have been found — each worth its weight in gold.
