Rohan Naidu: The mind behind the black hole star
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered an extraordinary red object that might represent a new type of celestial body: a "black hole star". The researchers believe the object, named MoM-BH-1, is roughly the size of our solar system but shines with the brightness of 100 billion ordinary stars. Rohan Naidu, a Hyderabad-born astronomer and lead author of the study, suggests the extreme brightness could be coming from a central black hole surrounded by a massive envelope of dense hydrogen.
