Are neutron stars made of neutronium?
Do neutron stars turn into black holes thru the absorbtion of mass?
Did did the first proto-stars form in gas cloud galaxies or by themselves?
Do dark energy and matter interact like light energy and matter on a quantum level???

Yes, neutron stars can turn into black holes, if they aquire enough mass to overcome the neutron pressure. We see this in compact binaries where one of the members is a neutron star.
The first stars formed out of the much denser early universe. Technically, a galaxy is a collection of billions of stars, so the first stars formed from the hydrogen gas clouds before there were galaxies.
You’re last question is a little beyond my knowledge and really hasn’t been figured out, yet. Dark energy is the term for what is causing the acceleration of the expansion of the universe. It is acting on space itself and not matter, as far as we know. But again, this is still new and not well understood territory.
Love all the questions!

Posted by starwatcher-alSolar minimum was in 2019 so the sun is ramping up in flares, spots and prominences.
Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
