EVSN - Giant Black Holes Cosplay as Little Red Dots

From October 15, 2025.


The Universe is hard enough to figure out without one kind of
object dressing up as another, but - just in time for Halloween -
researchers have figured out that the Little Red Dot in the early
Universe just might be massive black holes surrounded in a
costume of glowing red gas. Also in this episode, Hyabusa2's
amusingly tiny destination, a white dwarf star eating what may be
an icy dwarf planet, and tales from the launch pad.
