there is a new framework to attempt to elucidate the beginnings of the universe.
The JWST has contributed to the identification of what are known as little red dots. These are light sources from the primordial cosmos that remain somewhat mysterious. Due to the enormous scale of this supermassive black hole, the researchers have nicknamed it the BiRD, or Big Red Dot.
This finding was disclosed in the Astronomy & Astrophysics journal in October 2025 under the heading “A big red dot at cosmic noon”. This research united a global team of scientists from institutions such as Space Telescope Science Institute affiliated with the European Space Agency, Yale University, and the University of Cambridge. Their results may aid in enhancing our understanding of the characteristics of the red dots being detected by the JWST, as well as expanding our comprehension of the primordial cosmos.
