The amazing disappearing exoplanet

Astronomers noticed an exoplanet that seems to have stopped transiting in front of its host star. In other words, a whole planet has gone missing from the one thing we use to spot it. That's the kind of space mystery I can't resist.

I don't know the answer, and it sounds like nobody is entirely sure yet, but the question alone is fun. It's a good reminder that space is still full of things we can't explain.
