The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captured images of massive early galaxies, which were called “cosmic-breaking” red dots ...

A cosmic object spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope has flummoxed astronomers. Now, a research team has studied hundreds of these "little red dots" and found clues about their identity.

In the stars-only hypothesis, the Little Red Dots contain massive amounts of stars — up to 100 billion stars. That's approximately the same number of stars as in the Milky Way — a much larger ...

The little red dots should thus be visible to x-ray telescopes if they contain supermassive black holes. In one of the most puzzling plot twists of modern astronomy, they are not: ...

A cosmic object spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope has flummoxed astronomers. Now, a research team has studied hundreds of these "little red dots" and found clues about their identity.

The team first spotted the little red dots while using the JWST back in July. At the time, the researchers immediately suspected the objects were actually galaxies that existed roughly 13.5 ...
