📍 How it ended
Scientists proposed that entire universes could form inside collapsing stars. This gravastar theory suggests a tiny Big Bang could ignite at a dying star's core, offering an alternative to black holes.

The brief
Scientists have proposed that a new universe could form inside a dying star, rather than the star collapsing into a black hole. Coverage emphasizes the concept of gravastars, which are hypothetical objects that form when a dying star's core does not collapse into a singularity.
Instead, a tiny Big Bang could ignite at the core, leaving a gravastar with no event horizon. The next steps involve further research into gravastar theory and its implications for our understanding of stellar collapse and the formation of new universes.
