James Webb spotted a bizarre object just 660 million years after the Big Bang that looks like an enormous star but shines with roughly 100 billion Suns' worth of energy — because hidden inside its star-like cocoon is an accreting black hole, rather than a core - Space Daily

Astronomers determined the object contains an accreting black hole concealed within a gas cocoon rather than a stellar core, representing one of the most distant black hole discoveries and potentially explaining previously mysterious observations.
