Astronomers discover new 'black hole star' in early universe
In a Nature paper, astronomers report a striking early-universe object named MoM (Mirage or Miracle)-BH*-1 that combines properties of stars and black holes. The source appears as a bright red, solar-system–sized stellar-like object but radiates about 100 billion times more energy than any known star and is enshrouded in dense ionized gas, showing a Balmer break and minimal dust contribution. The authors call it a "black hole star" that outshines its host galaxy, which could offer a birth pathway for supermassive black holes; the team has secured JWST time starting in December to measure its mass and detailed physics.
