A massive star brightened in infrared light, then vanished without exploding. Astronomers uncovered the quiet birth of a black hole.

Their research was guided by a prediction from the 1970s: if a star collapses directly into a black hole, it should briefly glow in infrared light as it sheds its outer layers and becomes wrapped in ...
