The discovery of strange, ultra-red objects—especially the extreme case known as The Cliff—has pushed astronomers to propose an entirely new type of cosmic structure: black hole stars. These exotic ...

Little red dots may reside in small, dense galaxies with total masses equivalent to around 1 billion times that of the sun, according to research published in Nature Astronomy. The findings offer new ...

Little Red Dots, the small, extremely red objects spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope in the early universe, may reveal ...

Not all discoveries turn out to be actual new discoveries. This was the case for the extremely red objects (EROs) found in James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) data. Analysis shows that they are very ...

Astronomers claim to have discovered what NASA describes as a "strange cosmic object that shines like a star but appears to be powered by a rapidly feeding black hole." The object has been named ...

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 ...
