Astronomers find an enigmatic source that is most likely a Little Red Dot in formation
Astronomers have, for the first time, found a source in the process of becoming a Little Red Dot, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

The team, led by Karina Caputi of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, announced the detection at the annual meeting of the European Astronomical Society (EAS 2026) in Lausanne, Switzerland. The result has been accepted for publi
