Astronomers spot a possible ‘black hole star’ in the early Universe

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery of an extraordinary object from the early Universe named MoM-BH*-1. This potential precursor to a supermassive black hole was detected using Nasa’s James Webb Space Telescope shortly after the Big Bang. Researchers propose that it is enveloped in dense, turbulent gas, possibly clarifying the origins of the enigmatic red dots seen by JWST.
