JWST Spotted Mysterious Red Dots at the Edge of the Universe

Mysterious red dots have been spotted all over the early Universe. JMP is an interactive statistical discovery software for scientists and engineers to explore data visually, uncover meaningful patterns, and make confident data-driven decisions. Check out http://jmp.com/astrum for your free trial. ▀▀▀▀▀▀ A series of little red dots is shattering our understanding of how the Universe began. These bizarre, glowing dots are far too massive and bright for their age, suggesting they could be a brand new type of cosmic object. Join us as we investigate the mind-boggling theories… Could these red dots be black hole stars? ▀▀▀▀▀▀ 0:00 Mysterious Red Dots 2:24 What Are They? 3:58 Redshift 5:07 Spectrum Clues 6:44 Starburst Galaxies 9:21 Supermassive Black Holes 14:19 JWST: RUBIES Survey 15:54 The Cliff 19:00 Black Hole Stars 21:53 Host Galaxy 24:35 Quasi-stars 27:50 The First Supermassive Black Holes 29:38 Direct Collapse Black Hole ▀▀▀▀▀▀ To stay on top of space news, sign up to the Astrum newsletter: https://astrumspace.kit.com A huge thanks to our Patreons who help make these videos possible.
