When the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) began observing the distant universe in the summer of 2022, astronomers were ...

A survey using the space telescope JWST has found evidence of a peculiar star-like quality in a black hole from the early universe, leading researchers to suspect they are looking at a brand-new type ...

Astronomers have identified what may be the earliest known “black hole star,” an unusual object in which a rapidly growing black hole appears to be surrounded by an exceptionally dense, dust-free ...

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery of an extraordinary object from the early Universe named MoM-BH*-1. This potential precursor to a supermassive black hole was detected using Nasa's ...

A new theoretical study may have cracked one of the most puzzling discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): Little Red Dots, spotted across the early universe. The paper, posted to the ...

The most distant 'black hole star' yet found, existing in the universe less than 660 million years after the Big Bang, has provided a vital clue as to the origin of the mysterious "little red dots" ...

Little red dots have puzzled astronomers since their discovery in James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) data from the universe's deep past. Their "powering engines" might resemble a newly discovered ...

A blazing red point in the early universe looks roughly as large as the solar system, yet shines about 100 billion times more powerfully than any known star could physically manage. The object, called ...

Astronomers announced Wednesday they had discovered a new type of astronomical object called a "black hole star," potentially solving a mystery involving strange red dots spotted in the early universe ...

A team led by Vasily Kokorev at the University of Texas at Austin published the most detailed spectrum ever obtained for a "little red dot" on June 10, 2026, and the data overwhelmingly supports a ...
