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'.
