Astronomers have found the strongest evidence yet for the existence of dark stars, a type of enormous star in the early universe that is partially powered by dark matter.

The black holes sit in the centres of faraway galaxies. They stayed dark for years before tearing into massive stars. After the stars were destroyed, the black holes glowed brightly for months.

The once-in-a-lifetime explosion of T Coronae Borealis, also known as the "Blaze Star" is still pending -- but the event will be occurring soon, according to astronomers.

The red giant star is slowly being stripped of its hydrogen by the strong gravitational pull of its companion, the white dwarf, as the two are interlocked in a dangerous orbital dance.

Thousands of light-years from Earth, the dramatic death throes of a giant star are playing out.

These stars, born just 100 to 200 million years after the Big Bang, lived fast and died young, exploding as supernovae that scattered their elements across the cosmos.
