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.

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

"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 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, ...

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 ...

If you've got both, though, the red dot takes precedence. It's easier to make up a weight offset with some tacked-on grams than it is to counteract a physical bump in the tire. Yellow dots are ...

About a year after launching into orbit around the Sun, the James Webb Space Telescope began imaging an abundance of little red dots, which scientists called, um, “little red dots.” I know ...

These galaxies – some hundreds of them and called the Little Red Dots – are very red and compact, and visible only during about 1 billion years of cosmic history. Like the mimic octopus, the Little ...

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.
