JWST Discovers Ultra-Bright "Black Hole Star" in Early Universe
The James Webb Space Telescope has identified an exceptionally bright object in the early universe, appearing just hundreds of millions of years after the Big Bang. Dubbed a "black hole star," this entity is larger than our solar system and shines with the luminosity of 100 billion Suns. Researchers hypothesize it's a rapidly growing black hole, approximately 100,000 times the Sun's mass, enveloped in a dense hydrogen gas cocoon, potentially explaining other early universe observations.
