Originally found during my trip back from Beagle Point, Splojeia AA-A H19 A is a Wolf-Rayet star completely void of any light emitted by the star itself, hence it’s nickname of “The Dark Star”. The surface of the star is at an incredibly cold 113 Kelvin, translating to about negative 160 degrees Celsius, which likely is cause for its non-light emitting properties.

Against the brighter stars scattered in the background The Dark Star is clearly visible, covering any and all of its surroundings with its cold, decaying state.

Something I found personally to be noteworthy about The Black Star is that currently it’s already fusing oxygen with ionized lines, meaning that it’s relatively close to its death. Given that The Black Star contains a solar mass of nearly 92 it is not unlikely that the collapse will result in a hypernova, spelling out death and destruction for nearby solar systems.

Orbiting The Dark Star is H19 B, a more regular WNO I Wolf-Rayet at nearly 300,000 light-seconds away from its sibling. This is not a star worthy of any notice; however, it is good to mention that this too has an immense solar mass of nearly 62, implying that once either of these stars go hypernova, it will take the other one with them.
