Astronomers discover a new kind of cosmic object

Astronomers have discovered a new kind of cosmic object, a 'black hole star'. This object is described as a gas-enshrouded and gas-reddened black hole. The discovery is significant because it is the earliest known black hole star found at cosmic dawn. The discovery was made using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

The object is the farthest 'black hole star' ever found. This finding could help solve the JWST's 'little red dot' mystery. The Guardian, Space, popsci.com, Phys.org and Nature all carry the story. The object's exact nature and implications are not yet fully understood.

The term 'black hole star' is new, and its properties are not yet fully characterized. The object's existence challenges current understanding of cosmic objects and their formation. The discovery raises questions about the early universe and the processes that led to the formation of such objects.
