JWST May Have Caught the Birth of the Universe’s First Giant Black Holes

For two years, the James Webb Space Telescope kept showing us hundreds of mysterious red objects in the early universe — objects that shouldn't exist. Astronomers called them "Little Red Dots." Now, a groundbreaking paper by Fabio Pacucci and colleagues may have finally solved the mystery: they're Direct Collapse Black Holes, born massive from pristine primordial gas. But this answer raises a fascinating question about the black hole in our own galaxy. In this video, we explore what Little Red Dots are, why they baffled astronomers, how Direct Collapse Black Holes explain every puzzle at once, and what this means when combined with a separate paper questioning whether Sagittarius A* is really a black hole.
