When darkness shines: How dark stars could illuminate the early universe

Three faint smudges in James Webb’s data may be pointing to something astronomers have argued about for years: “dark stars.” The name sounds like science fiction, and it’s misleading. These objects wouldn’t be dim, and they wouldn’t be stars in the usual sense. If they exist, they’d shine for a stranger reason: not from nuclear fusion, but from dark matter annihilating deep inside them.That idea doesn’t just tweak a detail in star formation. It …
