你們有沒有看到那些小小的紅點（LRDs）呢？沒有人知道這些紅點是什麼，它們是在去年被發現的！目前，詹姆斯·韋伯太空望遠鏡已經在早期宇宙中找到了數百個這樣的紅點。雖然這些紅點非常微弱，但科學家們正在深入觀察並經常發現它們。大家對這些紅點的起源有很多不同的看法，比如它們可能與吸積的超大質量黑洞有關，或者是年輕的星系裡的星星誕生，甚至可能和未知的物質有關。你看這些圖片裡顯示的六個幾乎沒有特徵的紅點，這些都是在詹姆斯·韋伯太空望遠鏡的探索中找出的哦！此外，科學家們也在我們的宇宙附近尋找以前可能存在的紅點，看看它們現在會變成什麼樣子！
原文:
What are these little red dots (LRDs)? Nobody knows. Discovered only last year, hundreds of LRDs have now been found by the James Webb Space Telescope in the early universe. Although extremely faint, LRDs are now frequently identified in deep observations made for other purposes. A wide-ranging debate is raging about what LRDs may be and what importance they may have. Possible origin hypotheses include accreting supermassive black holes inside clouds of gas and dust, bursts of star formation in young dust-reddened galaxies, and dark matter powered gas clouds. The highlighted images show six nearly featureless LRDs listed under the JWST program that found them, and z, a distance indicator called cosmological redshift. Additionally, searches are underway in our nearby universe to try to find whatever previous LRDs might have become today.
