Astronomers have discovered an extremely bright star system, nicknamed Mothra, that is likely being gravitationally lensed by a patch of dark matter positioned between us and the star. This phenomenon could provide valuable insights into the nature of dark matter, which has been a mystery in astrophysics. Mothra is part of a class of stars called kaiju stars, named after Japanese film monsters, and is one of the few stars visible at such great distances due to gravitational lensing. The star system consists of a yellow supergiant and a hot star, with the latter varying considerably in the red part of the spectrum. The researchers believe that the lensing object could be a black hole or a concentration of dark matter, possibly around a faint globular cluster. Further observations may help determine the true nature of dark matter.
