James Webb telescope spots 'stingray' galaxy system that could solve the mystery of 'little red dots'

The James Webb Space Telescope discovered a triple-galaxy system nicknamed "The Stingray" that contains a galaxy displaying characteristics between mysterious "little red dots" and active galactic nuclei. This transitional object suggests little red dots may be temporary evolutionary phases of black hole systems rather than distinct cosmic objects, potentially solving the puzzle of these compact red structures found throughout the early universe.
