Summary:
- This article discusses the concept of "dark stars," which are hypothetical celestial objects that could have formed in the early universe before the first normal stars.
- Dark stars are thought to have been powered by dark matter annihilation, which would have provided a significant source of energy and allowed them to grow much larger than normal stars.
- Understanding the properties and evolution of these dark stars could provide insights into the formation and early history of the universe, as well as the nature of dark matter itself.
