"It is exciting to think that Little Red Dots may represent the first direct observational evidence of the birth of the most massive black holes in the universe."

NASA’s JWST Uncovers a ‘Feeding Frenzy’ That Births Supermassive Black Holes

Astronomers may have solved how supermassive black holes formed so soon after the Big Bang. New simulations show that gas-rich, turbulent early galaxies allowed brief super-Eddington feeding bursts, enabling ordinary stellar-mass black holes to grow rapidly into the giants seen by JWST.
