Scientists have found a new kind of object in space. They call it a black hole star. It is very far from Earth. It is as wide as our solar system. It shines with a deep red light. But it makes 100 billion times more energy than any star.
The object formed about 660 million years after the universe began. Scientists were looking for far galaxies. Then they studied the reddest light in their photos. Computer models gave the answer. The object is a black hole. Very thick gas covers it. The gas makes it shine like a star.
A space telescope has seen many strange little red dots in the sky. Nobody knew what they were. The study team thinks they may all be black hole stars. These objects may be the start of every very big black hole.
