"Webb Telescope's Discovery: Dark Matter Fuels Enigmatic 'Dark Stars'"

Astronomers using the Webb Space Telescope have identified three objects that could be "dark stars," theoretical objects powered by dark matter. These objects, which date back to when the universe was between 320 million and 400 million years old, were initially identified as galaxies but may actually be never-before-seen dark stars. Dark stars would be powered by the collisions of dark matter particles rather than nuclear fusion and could be millions of times the mass of our Sun. Further observations with the Webb Space Telescope will provide more insights into these ancient sources of light and help scientists understand the evolution of cosmic structures.
