A cosmic object spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope has flummoxed astronomers. Now a research team has studied hundreds of these "little red dots" and found clues about their identity.

However, one thing is certain. The typical Little Red Dot is small, with a radius of only 2% of that of the Milky Way galaxy. Some are even smaller.

A never-before-seen group of galaxies, known as the Little Red Dots, were first spotted by the new Webb Telescope. Astronomers can't figure out what they are.

Still, some astronomers continue to believe that little red dots are, in fact, massive galaxies, he says. Little red dots aren't bright in X-ray light, which would normally be seen from black holes.

When the little red dots first showed up in some of JWST's early observations, in December of 2022, it was a surprise. These faint objects are so far away that the light has to travel for billions of ...
