NASA's James Webb telescope catches glimpse of possible 'dark stars' for the first time - which could solve one of the universe's biggest mysteries

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has detected what were believed to be fabled'dark stars' that could solve one of the universe's biggest mysteries. A team of astronomers led by The University of Texas (UT) at Austin identified three potential'dark stars' that formed about 320 million years after the Big Bang, making them the earliest stars ever seen by human eyes. The image shows three fuzzy dots glowing in the blackness of space, but astronomers believe the tiny specs could lead to uncovering the elusive dark matter. Dark stars could only exist if dark matter creates heat at the core, preventing the stars from collapsing and causing them to puff up, which the team found in JWST's observations. Although dark matter makes up about 85 percent of the universe, its nature has eluded scientists.
