      That’s incredible news! If confirmed, this could give us so much insight into the early universe and possibly even the nature of dark matter. The JWST just keeps delivering amazing discoveries!

    2. Truly amazing if confirmed! Redshifts of 17-25, just 100-200 million years after the Big Bang 😯. Black Holes not stars the first light sources in the universe ironically.

    3. There have been claims of objects at these redshifts since  the JWST started taking data. So far, spectra haven’t confirmed any of them. that could change, of course, but I’m not going to get excited until spectroscopy confirms it. 

      (It’s very possible for dusty star forming galaxies at redshift 4 to masquerade as ultra high redshift, basically the Balmer jump looks like the Lyman break and emission lines give the appearance of a blue continuum.)

    4. JWST is one of the few things weve gotten right recently as a species. What an incredible find.

    5. So black holes, believed to have formed when massive stars collapse, are seen before there was time to form massive stars. Cool.

    6. I don’t see how the author of this article even came to this title given the content of the actual research from which it purports to be written.

      The paper:

      https://arxiv.org/html/2503.15594v3

      Only one mention of primordial black holes, and it’s there as a dismissing of the idea that’s what they’re seeing:

      „First, we have left apart the possible non-stellar origin of the luminosity of high redshift galaxies (see, e.g., the discussion about primordial black holes in Matteri et al., 2025, see also Silk et al. 2024). “

      Way more noise than signal in Scientific American on this one.

    7. They have proposed that „primordial **black holes**“ created right after the big bang may have **lit** up the universe before the first stars.

      Sorry? Black holes lit up the universe? I assume that they really mean the acretion disk generated the light.

      Come on boys, the is science – accuracy matters.
