🚀 'James Webb' discovers a new type of object: 'black hole stars'. In the early Universe (660 million years after the Big Bang), the object MoM-BH*-1 was found. This is a supermassive black hole in a dense gas shell, mimicking a star. 🔹 Luminosity is 100 billion times higher than stellar. 🔹 Explains the rapid growth of black holes. 🔹 Solves the mystery of 'Little Red Dots'. #JWST #Science #Astronomy #BlackHoles
