Black hole stars are high-energy objects featuring a central black hole masked by a dense cloud of gas. They are likely responsible for many of the anomalous, bright red spots observed by the James Webb Space Telescope in the early universe, suggesting that black holes played a more significant role in early cosmic evolution than previously understood.
A black hole star is a theoretical object with a black hole core and a dense gas envelope. Learn how JWST data is changing our understanding of the cosmos.
Scientists have identified a 'black hole star'—a massive black hole encased in hydrogen gas—that explains puzzling light sources seen in the early universe.
