Compact ruddy galaxies seen by the James Webb telescope confound astronomers. Having very little spin at birth may explain the galaxies’ small sizes.

The typical Little Red Dot is small, with a radius of only 2% of that of the Milky Way galaxy. Some are even smaller. As an astrophysicist who studies faraway galaxies and black holes, ...

Little red dots aren't bright in X-ray light, which would normally be seen from black holes. It may be, however, that gases are obscuring this form of light.

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.

Curiously, Little Red Dots are most common at redshifts z ~ 6–8 - when the universe was less than a billion years old - but ...

The typical Little Red Dot is small, with a radius of only 2 percent of that of the Milky Way galaxy. Some are even smaller. As an astrophysicist who studies faraway galaxies and black holes, ...

"Little red dot" galaxies discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope in the early cosmos appear to be ruled by supermassive black holes that are 1,000 times too massive.

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.

Space Little red dots seen by JWST might be a kind of black hole 'star' Red specks in the early universe are puzzling astronomers, but a proposed explanation suggests they are the progenitors of ...

Little red dots aren't bright in X-ray light, which would normally be seen from black holes. It may be, however, that gases are obscuring this form of light.

Of all the mysteries that the massive James Webb Space Telescope has seen so far in the early universe, one of the strangest are objects that astronomers now call "little red dots." Like the nickname ...
