Webb's 'little red dots' may reveal first black holes
Original: Webb Space Telescope's little red dots could hold key to first black holes
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University report that the small red galaxies spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope in the early universe could be key to understanding how the first supermassive black holes formed. The objects, dubbed 'little red dots', may be compact galaxies hosting growing black holes at their centres, offering a new clue to a long-standing cosmic puzzle.
Why now: New research linking the mysterious objects to the origins of the earliest black holes is drawing attention in the astronomy community.
