- Early universe’s ‘little red dots’ may be black hole stars
The little red dots, astronomers say, may be an entirely new type of object: a colossal ball of bright, hot gas, larger than the Solar System, powered not by nuclear fusion, but by a black hole “I think we’re closing in on an answer,” says Jenny Greene, an astrophysicist at Princeton University
