Some have suggested that this civilisation, with its advanced technology is using vast engineering constructs to harness the energy of the star while other more timid theorists suggest dark matter or even, dust and gas, as the basis for the dimming but I can assure all here that the phenomenon is due to one of Disaster Area's speakers, which came off an inter-gig cosmic freighter, that is now floating in an eccentric orbit around that distant star.
When asked about this issue the band's putative leader Hotblack Desiato had this to say to us mere earthlings...

Hotblack Desiato is the guitar keyboard player of the plutonium rock group Disaster Area, claimed to be the loudest band in the universe, and in fact the loudest sound of any kind, anywhere. So loud is this band that the audience usually listens from the safe distance of thirty seven miles away in a well-built concrete bunker. Disaster Area's lavish performances went so far as to crash a space ship into the sun to create a solar flare. Pink Floyd's lavish stage shows were the inspiration for Disaster Area. At the time when the main characters meet him, in the novel The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Hotblack is spending a year dead "for tax reasons". (In the book he is described as being connected to a "death support system" and communicates only by supernatural means.) In 1978, two years prior to the publishing of the book, the members of the band Pink Floyd lived outside Great Britain for exactly one year for tax reasons
