But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

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, ...

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.

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

Names are a strange thing in astronomy. Sometimes scientists come up with grandiose, simple name, like the Extremely Large ...

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 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.

Early data of “little red dots,” or LRDs, from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) appeared to suggest the presence of galaxies too massive to exist in our modern cosmological models. Now, NASA is ...

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.

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 ...
