NASA's Webb Space Telescope just found strange red dots that shouldn’t exist

Are 'little red dots' seen by the James Webb Space Telescope actually elusive 'black hole stars'?

The mystery of the James Webb Space Telescope's "little red dots" could be solved if they are not ancient galaxies but are entirely new celestial objects called "black hole stars."

Scientists spot potential new class of black hole stars

Artist’s impression of a black hole star (not to scale). T. Müller/A. de Graaff/Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (CC BY-NC-ND) Astronomers may be one step closer to unlocking the missing link in supermassive black hole evolution after finding mysterious tiny red objects may in fact be an entirely new class of celestial objects – ‘black hole stars’. The new study analysed data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope in 2022. At the time of …

NASA's Webb Space Telescope just found strange red dots that shouldn’t exist

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have uncovered mysterious “little red dots” that may not be galaxies at all, but a whole new type of object: black hole stars. These fiery spheres, powered by ravenous black holes at their core, could explain how supermassive black holes in today’s galaxies were born. With discoveries like “The Cliff,” a massive red dot cloaked in hydrogen gas, scientists are beginning to rethink how the early uni…

Mysterious 'red dots' in early universe may be 'black hole star' atmospheres - Science Tech Updates

Tiny red objects spotted by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are offering scientists new insights into the origins of galaxies in the universe—and may represent an entirely new class of celestial object: a black hole swallowing massive amounts of matter and spitting out light. Using the first datasets released by the telescope in 2022, […] The post Mysterious ‘red dots’ in early universe may be ‘black hole star’ atmospheres appeared firs…
