The tiny red dots that crowded the James Webb images turned out to be not what they seemed. They lack hot dust from ravenous black holes—so a completely different mechanism of galaxy growth was at work in the early Universe. This reshapes the picture of the first billion years after the Big Bang.

🎯 The first Webb images were so thick with these dots that astronomers jokingly called them 'polluters' of galactic surveys.
