@jrexplains: Little Red Dots, or LRDs, are one of the most recently discovered classes of cosmic object. Their measurements fall firmly outside our expectations for stellar formation and black hole mass, leaving a huge hole in the models we use to describe LRDs. Lets dig into why they seem to be so much more massive than they should be, and how researchers adjusted for the unexpected results in the spectrum lines. #astrophysics #STEMTok #physics #space #blackhole
Astronomers see a slightly unusually bright light in close proximity with 50 other bright lights and somehow figure out the exact compositon of its atmosphere

a brief appearance of a red dot.
later, in a sense, it's discovered and has been for some time.
while this isn't measurable, it is observable in duration.
something like the field this field takes place in. this doesn't effect math or even the rhetorical language of science.
