| | | | Exotic black hole stars could explain the mystery of "little red dots" // Scientific American |
|
|
| Assistant Professor Anna-Christina Eilers and postdoc Rohan Naidu discuss the discovery and study of "little red dots," mysterious red spots that have appeared in images from the James Webb Space Telescope. The dots, which astronomers date to just 600 million years after the big bang, "are in every single image the telescope takes," says Naidu. "We have to find out about them if we want to tell a complete story about the early universe." |
