TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may have discovered three objects that are not galaxies, but rather "dark stars" powered by dark matter. These immense objects, which existed in the early universe, could be as bright as entire galaxies containing fusion-powered stars. Dark stars are composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, with a small portion made up of dark matter. If confirmed, this finding could provide valuable insights into dark matter and its role in the universe.
