Little red dots may show how massive black holes formed
A simulation published in Nature links massive black hole formation to little red dots seen by the James Webb Space Telescope. Astrophysicist Sunmyon Chon and his team found that chaotic swirls of material in the early universe could form black holes. As the holes rapidly picked up material, their light emissions appeared like the red dots, which date back to one billion years after the Big Bang.
The findings offer a possible explanation for how black holes formed and grew in the early universe.
