In a far-off star system, a mystery unfolds. A sunlike star orbits an unseen entity, which scientists suspect might be an unprecedented 'boson star' composed of dark matter. Astronomers once thought this system, observed by ESA's Gaia satellite, was a star circling a black hole. New research proposes a darker mystery: a dark matter star. This system houses a sunlike star and a mysterious, massive entity. The identity of the dark companion intrigues scientists: Is it a black hole, or a cluster of dark matter particles? Some theories suggest dark matter might form 'boson stars', identifiable only through their gravitational pull. Is this the first sighting of a boson star? While unlikely, it's a tantalizing possibility, offering a unique lens into the study of strong gravity and general relativity. It's a cosmic detective story, and the investigation has just begun.
