Mysterious “Dark Star” Spotted in Webb Telescope Data

Dark stars, in theory, are stars fueled by burning dark matter, these theoretical stars burn faster and brighter than normal stars, though we haven’t actually seen any to date.

At least, until nowm according to a group of physicists, four objects in recent data collected by the James Webb Telescope match the theoretical properties of dark stars. Let’s take a look at whether or not these anomalies might actually be the dark stars we’ve been promised
