The mysterious red dots: a new clue to galaxy and black hole origins

The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed small red dots in the early universe, challenging traditional models. These objects could be key in understanding the connection between star clusters and supermassive black holes.

### The enigma of the small red dots

Appearing in the universe at just 7% of its current age, these luminous objects defy classic theories with their intense reddish color and brightness.
