"This black hole is nearly naked,"
"The researchers behind this study use new JWST observations to strengthen the case for primordial origins, but it's an indirect argument and it will take time for the debate to be settled,"
JWST observations reveal an object that may be a primordial black hole formed less than a second after the Big Bang. The object appears nearly naked and lacks a surrounding galaxy, implying formation before stars and galaxies existed. Primordial black holes could be far smaller than modern black holes, perhaps as tiny as a planet or an atom. Such early formation challenges the standard picture of black holes forming from collapsing massive stars and carries major implications for cosmic evolution. The evidence remains indirect because the object is observed about 700 million years after the Big Bang, not at formation.
