Black hole butterflies? James Webb telescope spots dozens of black hole 'cocoons' in early universe.

James Webb Space Telescope discovered mysterious "little red dots" in the early universe that puzzled scientists because they had characteristics of both galaxies and supermassive black holes but didn't fit either category. New research analyzing light spectra from 30 of these objects reveals they are actually young supermassive black holes surrounded by dense gas cocoons that trap X-ray emissions, making them appear 100 times less massive than originally calculated.
