James Webb Telescope Identifies Novel 'Black Hole Star' in Early Universe
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a new cosmic object, termed a 'black hole star,' observed 660 million years after the Big Bang.

This finding offers new insights into early universe evolution.
