- An object 3DHST-AEGIS-12014, 11.8 billion light-years away, has been discovered emitting X-rays, unlike other ’little red dots'.
- The object was found by comparing data from the James Webb Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory.
- Scientists believe it is a supermassive black hole in a transitional phase, breaking through a gas cloud.
- An alternative explanation is that it is an ordinary black hole obscured by exotic dust.
- The discovery was published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
