The James Webb telescope may have discovered a brand new class of cosmic object: the black hole star

Astronomers have discovered a mysterious object called "the Cliff" that may explain the "little red dots" first spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope in 2022. This finding suggests these dots could be "black hole stars" - rapidly feeding black holes surrounded by glowing gas cocoons. The discovery might solve how supermassive black holes formed so early in the universe, as these objects appear to grow extremely rapidly but exist only briefly in cosmic history.
