Astronomy Today@astronomytodaySome of the mysterious Little Red Dots seen by the James Webb Space Telescope may be primordial black holes, born just after the Big Bang. Researchers tested this idea on one of them, QSO1, whose light left it when the universe was about 700 million years old.
QSO1 is made almost entirely of hydrogen and helium, which may make it more pristine than others. Their modeling found the most likely scenario is a small primordial black hole that slowly grew by consuming nearby gas.
