In astronomy, a dark star is thought to be made out of the same type of chemical elements as regular stars - hydrogen and helium. The dark star is, however, something different energy-wise, as it is powered by dark matter annihilation rather than fusion.

This fulgurite has a gaseous, stellar-like shape as its outer appearance looks bubbly with mottled, multiple protuberances. This is very similar to what regular stars look like in the night sky with a telescope. The color is white and gray with intermittent white grains.
