| 100% | We want to find as direct evidence as we can that a massive compact object, a dark star, is pulling on a companion star. So the way to do that is to measure the motion of the companion star. Since you can never directly take a photograph of a black hole, it just appears black, the best you can really do is measure its influence on material around it. We can then look for minute shifts in the color of the light coming from the star. And if these shifts are found and they go back and forth periodically, then that's an indication that something is tugging on the star. | ▶️ |
