"James Webb Telescope Uncovers Possible Dark Stars, Rewriting Cosmic History"

Physicists propose that the bright galaxies discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) shortly after the Big Bang may be powered by concentrations of Dark Matter, suggesting the existence of "Dark Stars" that are a million times the mass of the Sun and a billion times as bright. These stars would be fueled by the annihilation of Dark Matter particles, releasing enough energy to heat their surfaces and produce light. The researchers suggest that Dark Stars eventually collapse into black holes, potentially explaining the presence of supermassive black holes in the early universe. However, the nature of Dark Matter particles and the stability of such stars remain uncertain, and further observations are needed to confirm the existence of Dark Stars.
