Little red dots have puzzled astronomers since their discovery in JWST data from the Universes deep past. Their powering engines might resemble a newly discovered phenomenon dubbed a black hole star-an early, rapidly growing black hole wrapped in dense gas. This object, described in a study published today in Nature by researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and international collaborators, may help explain how billion-solar-mass black holes formed so soon after the...
