JWST Dark Star Evidence: Bizarre Cosmic Objects Detected
The James Webb Space Telescope has potentially identified the first definitive signatures of dark stars, mysterious objects powered by dark matter rather than nuclear fusion. These findings could explain several cosmic mysteries, including the rapid formation of supermassive black holes in the early universe. Researchers detected key spectral evidence that points to these bizarre celestial bodies.
