·1 viewsA team of astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope has identified an unusually bright, red object from the early universe that may represent a new class of celestial body called a 'black hole star'. The research was led by Rohan Naidu, a Hyderabad-born astronomer at MIT. The study proposes that a massive black hole could be hidden within a dense cloud of hydrogen, giving rise to this rare phenomenon. This discovery may also shed light on the so-called 'little red dots', mysterious objects that JWST has been observing in the distant universe.
