Rocky Patel · Non-CubanDark Star

Who would’ve thought we’d get an astronomy lesson from a cigar? A dark star is like a normal star, but heated by the destruction of dark matter particles. From the early years of our universe, these stars are theorized to have grown much larger than an average star we see today, and as such, would have the capacity to create the supermassive black holes we see in the universe now. One could think of these dark stars as the original “seed” of sorts that created one of the binding bodies of virtually every galaxy in the cosmos.
