"James Webb Space Telescope Discovers Baby Quasars and Mysterious Red Supermassive Black Holes"

TL;DR Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a high number of faint "little red dots" in the distant universe, which are believed to be small versions of extremely massive black holes. These objects, observed using the telescope's Near Infrared Camera, could potentially change our understanding of the formation of supermassive black holes and their role in distant galaxies. The findings, led by astrophysicist Jorryt Matthee, suggest that these "baby quasars" may provide insights into the genesis of supermassive black holes and help answer some of the biggest questions about the universe.
