Disappearing Star

[blinko656]

About a week ago I was looking at two stars which were very close to each other, very close. I called out o my wife and asked her to come out side to check to check it out. To my surprise before she could get outside the two had disappeared . One was bright similar the north star and the other was dimmer and had a bit of a light brown color to it. Strange..

uhhhhhhh, computer screen

[Trance1972]

I have seen something similar when I was younger. I didn't hav a telescope, and was just outside looking at the stars, and one just happened to disappear.

lol nice effect XD

[st31986]

many of the stars that we see up to the sky do not exist any more, our sky is a view to the PAST :D

[Trance1972]

@st31986

This is true. Since these stars are billion and billions of miles away, and since it will take many light years to reach us, what we are seeing is the stars as they were.

[skyliner288]

Fake, I looked through my telescope today and there is nothing like it, even the stars are faked...

[xolilvannahxo]

fake..

[ajoow1]

fake

[ThreeTopSongs]

no shit its fake? sherlock---

[pootom1]

this is paint! god

[themodernhero]

oh come on!!! big red spark/flash! lol, nuuu way. like, star going red giant, suprenova-ing and black holed in 2 secs... couple million years ago... not likely!

[ElectricGuitarManiak]

the program u used is star night beginer

[AWtheprospro]

a super nova or nova doesnt happen in less than a minute

hes totally screwing with us

you guys think your smart well if you were you be right like me

a super nova explodes and stays in space for a good hour or so

NASA says so

FAKE!!!

Christmas night while all with the family, we decided to star gaze... while watching it... the really bright star in the sky not only disappeared, but the got brighter and then 20 minutes later got dim over a period of about 6 seconds and disappeared again. this happened over and over again. There was no reason why this was disappearing, like clouds, because others in the relative path were NOT disappearing.  I cannot figure this out, as it was really bright the night before! Looking still!

[Pingletons]

Not a Supernova, as it would appear bright for months or years, and then even after, you could see it's effects. This is fake though, as you can see the Star next to it move while the rest of the stars are still.

[funnygals94]

okay if it IS real...then it was obvisously a black hole..but ya i dont think its real at all!

[z08y]

Fake

[EweTubee]

so everyone is saying that this video is real... are you all a bunch of retards... even if stars were dissapearing as a results of their fuel running out which is feasible, that does not explain why there are stars appearing all over the video.....!!!!

[dillondramatic]

its fake but it was taken on my bday dec 22

[keikoshaye]

my sister's birthday is on dec 22, too

[GerKinZ92]

i think it is fake

1- to the right of the disapearing star two more appear and one moves after it dissapears

thts my opipion

[xxeternallyxsilentxx]

While walking home today, this bright star caught my attention, and so i stopped in my tracks; the star was getting smaller and dimmer and soon it disappeared. it was a much brighter star than this, and it took longer to disappear o.o

[CarCrashHeartsx3]

Wait...is this real? That's so cool (:

[cyb3r7]

chances are it was a star that colaped,cool tho

[1337n3kk1dp0w3r5]

usally when a star blows up it disappears. It probaly blew up a long time ago but it takes time to see it, then it just dispears

[tallperson1]

that star probably blew up thousands of years ago, its just the light that needs to get back to us

[gandolph1369]

In the last few months, I've seen several stars flash like a spotlight then disappear completely. I'm in Australia and there is something weird with several stars. If you believe some sources, some stars are supposedly not stars but UFO's?

[Astronomyking]

Ok when a star disappears it is the result of a nove or supernove. Chances are that you saw a super nova because of the fact that the stars flared up in luminosity. They are not "UFO's" there are just something that occurs when a star has used up all its energy. Granted it takes a long time for that light to reach us.

[yoshicat123]

WOW... that was so photoshopped

[Astronomyking]

This was not photoshopped, it was a nova or super nova (look it up on google because I dont have enough room to explain it)

[thatblondeguy]

At the same time the "star" disappears a few stars alos dim. It could be the aperture of your camera changing and letting in less light and so it cannot pick up the light of that star.

[Astronomyking]

you bring up a good point

[AlienCommando2012]

maybe it went supernova a long long time ago and it took a long time for the light to reach us that could be it i don't know though.

[ichsuka]

weird....a supernova wouldnt be 1 second though, it would just look like a real bright star

probably a red shooting star?

[FifthDegree]

Maybe a nova? Or supernova even?

[NadiaBKat167]

wow that is weird, it seemed too jerk down a it then flash red and dissapear. I wouldnt think a star could turn into a rd giant that fast.

[calvinyuen115]

whoa how'd you do that? wmm? i rated it 5 because it was COOl.

[FifthDegree]

Off the telescope connected to the computer.

[calvinyuen115]

cool..whht telescope do u have..

[FifthDegree]

meade

[chaminda123]

The star could have turned into a red giant...long time ago i studied a bit of astronomy..then the star becomes unstable and explodes

[FifthDegree]

Yeah. that was what I was thinking.

[chaminda123]

Lucky you....
