Dark Matter Stars Should Be Visible to IR Telescopes

Dark matter stars have been proposed to exist for a long time now, but thus far investigators have not been able to discover dark matter, let alone a star made entirely out of the stuff. In a new study, experts propose that finding these cosmic structures is within our current technological capabilities. What the te...

Dark Matter Stars May Have Created Supermassive Black Holes

Astronomers now believe that the cores of trillions of galaxies across the Universe are being powered by supermassive black hole. Recently, a team of experts proposed that these dark behemoths were produced by the collapse of massive stars made out of dark matter.Unlike usual stars, which are made up of normal, baryo...

Did the First Stars Shine Light ?

Recent studies show they might have not. Powered with energy, resulted from the interaction between ordinary matter and dark matter, and having masses between 400 to 200,000 times that of the Sun, these so-called "dark stars" could have been the first structures to ever populate the universe.It is now widely believed...
