= Dark star (Newtonian mechanics)
{wiki=Dark_star_(Newtonian_mechanics)}
In the context of Newtonian mechanics, a "dark star" refers to a hypothetical astronomical object, often theorized in the realm of astrophysics, that has an extremely high mass and density, such that its gravitational pull is so strong that even light cannot escape from it. The concept is similar to black holes in general relativity, but it was proposed before the full understanding of black holes was developed.
