Black Hole Star Discovered in Early Universe | Wilmington News

Astronomers just discovered a cosmic mystery: “black hole stars” — objects that look like stars but blast energy a hundred billion times stronger, possibly explaining the weird red dots spotted by James Webb. Found 660 million years after the Big Bang, these glowing orbs vanish at certain light frequencies, ruling out dust and pointing to hydrogen gas. Computer models reveal the most likely culprit: a black hole wrapped in gas, making it appear starlike. Named MoM-BH-1, this discovery suggests every red dot might be a hidden black hole star. Meanwhile, Webb also found dust and water near our Milky Way’s central black hole — proving even extreme environments can birth essential cosmic ingredients.
