A team of astrophysicists analyzed images from the James Webb Space Telescope and found three bright objects that might be "dark stars," which are theoretical objects much bigger and brighter than our sun.

"...a new type of star is pretty interesting all by itself, but discovering it's dark matter that's powering this—that would be huge."

Three bright objects initially identified as galaxies in observations from the James Webb Space Telescope might actually represent an exotic new form of star. If confirmed, the discovery would also shed light on the nature of dark matter.
