Astronomers are rethinking the nature of stars after a new type was discovered powered by black holes. The James Webb Space Telescope has detected an object that defies conventional understanding of stars.
It is 660 million years old, the size of our solar system, and shines 100 billion times brighter than any known star. The only explanation for this phenomenon is a black hole wrapped inside.
The object is referred to as a 'black hole star' or 'Little Red Dot'.

Quick answers
What is the James Webb Space Telescope?
The James Webb Space Telescope is a space observatory launched to study the early universe, exoplanets, and the formation of stars and galaxies.
What is a black hole?
A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape.
What is a 'Little Red Dot'?
The 'Little Red Dot' is the nickname given to the newly discovered object that appears to be a star powered by a black hole.
