James Webb Space Telescope sees little red dots feeding black holes: 'This is how you solve a universe-breaking problem'
The James Webb Space Telescope's ancient "little red dot" galaxies have been seen as a sign of "broken cosmology." Feeding supermassive black holes may have come to the rescue.
James Webb Space Telescope's 'little red dots' come into focus
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.
Scientists Studying Webb's 'Little Red Dots' Find New Population of Black Holes
Soon after it came online in 2022, Webb observations revealed a population of tiny red objects dubbed little red dots (LRDs). A new study has compiled and analyzed the largest-ever sample of LRDs, and it noted several striking properties,
Webb telescope just solved the 'universe-breaking problem'
The Webb telescope — a scientific collaboration between NASA, ESA, and the Canadian Space Agency — is designed to peer into the deepest cosmos and reveal new insights about the early universe. It's also examining intriguing planets in our galaxy, along with the planets and moons in our solar system.
Newfound galaxy class may indicate early black hole growth, Webb finds
In December 2022, less than six months after commencing science operations, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope revealed something never seen before: numerous red objects that appear small on the sky, which scientists soon called “little red dots” (LRDs).
