James Webb Just Discovered a Mysterious Object That Looks Like a Star—But Isn’t

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered \"Mom Black Hole Star 1,\" an anomalous object from the early universe. While it mimics the appearance of a massive red star, it is likely a black hole encased in a dense hydrogen cocoon. This discovery provides a potential explanation for how supermassive black holes grew so rapidly shortly after the Big Bang.
