天文学家发现即将合并的“小红点”

天文学家利用韦布空间望远镜在早期宇宙中发现了被称为“小红点”的神秘天体。最新研究表明，这些天体可能正处于合并过程中，并最终演化为超大质量黑洞。

Prior to its launch, astronomers were uncertain what the powerful JWST would find in the ancient, early Universe. One of its surprising findings was Little Red Dots, unexplained ancient objects. They're widely considered to be connected to the growth of SMBHs in the Universe. New research suggests that we may be seeing some LRDs before they merge, on their way to becoming SMBH.
