The James Webb telescope may have discovered a brand new class of cosmic object: the black hole starUsing the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers discovered an extreme version of "little red dots" dubbed "The Cliff." Its light suggests that it could be a never-before-seen class of objects called a "black hole star."
