Astronomers identify novel 'black hole star' in early universe

Astronomers at MIT have identified a novel astrophysical object, dubbed a 'black hole star,' in the early universe. This entity exhibits characteristics of an enormous star, spanning our solar system's size, while producing energy output 100 billion times greater than typical stars. Published in Nature, this discovery could help explain mysterious 'little red dots' observed by the James Webb Space Telescope, offering new insights into early cosmic evolution.
