The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected mysterious “little red dots” in the early universe, which hide stars and black holes that models suggest are “too old” for that era. These objects, seen when the universe was 600-800 million years old, challenge current understanding of galaxy and black hole evolution. Scientists believe these dots formed uniquely in the early universe, a process that ceased after about 1 billion years. The findings, part of the RUBIES survey led by Penn State University, could reshape our knowledge of cosmic history.
