OK, so like how do we go into space and look at our telescopes? And and like how do we find confirmation that axions are really doing this work?

Tell me a little bit more about that study that just came out talking about like these axion clouds, not just around, you know, big galaxies, but around these like dense dead stars, these neutron stars. Is that going to tell us a little bit more about dark matter?

So to find axions, scientists could look for excess photons, these particles of light, and that might tell us some interaction happened.

So this is kind of understood that there might be these axions around neutron stars? Have they been found or is it just like we're still just looking around these neutron stars?

So what would strengthen the idea that axions are the best possible solution for like solving the dark matter problem? In your mind, what would happen? What would have to happen?

Chanda, thank you so much for like enlightening me about axions. Pun intended, they could turn into photons.
