Astronomers may have found ancient stars formed from dark matter

When it comes to the early universe, astronomers have many questions. One of which is, how did the first stars form?

Today’s generation of stars are forged with hydrogen and helium, which transform via nuclear fusion into energy until the star runs out of that supply. A star like the Sun will then collapse, heat up, inflate, and go supernova. The dust and gas it sprays into space will linger and could go on to form a new star and planets. But what happened in the beginning?

A study published Tuesday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has already found an answer. FULL STORY from Inverse
