TOI-2535b stops showing up in transit observations.

TOI-2535b is about the size of a hot Jupiter, and astronomers had a dependable pattern to follow: for roughly seven years, it transited its star in their observations. Then it stopped showing up. The report describes it as the first known planet gradually disappearing from telescopic view—not a claim that the planet itself blinked out, but an observational vanishing act. Researchers suspect an unseen companion orbiting in a different plane may explain the change. For now, the missing transit is the clue.
