TL;DR Summary

Dark matter, a mysterious substance with gravitational influence on the universe, may give rise to explosive "dark stars" composed of axions, a type of subatomic particle. These axion-formed stars could grow in size before becoming unstable and exploding, releasing energy comparable to a supernova. Observations with the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope may provide evidence of these explosions, potentially shedding light on the nature of dark matter. Theoretical efforts are also underway to distinguish between different types of dark matter, such as axions and WIMPs, through gravitational lensing and other observational methods.
