In the cosmos of 2023, "monster stars" stole the show – these colossal celestial giants, much bigger than our sun, dazzled with their sheer luminosity. Scientists also got closer to cracking the enigmatic code of dark matter, a cosmic detective story. Planetary exploration was a hit, with robotic missions unveiling potential alien oceans beneath Europa's icy surface. The James Webb Space Telescope delivered stunning images of far-off galaxies, sharing cosmic tales. Quantum physics and quantum computing revved up our space adventures, promising fast and furious cosmic calculations.
