Big Black Holes and Little Red Dots

Professor Brian Cox joins the team to explore one the greatest current mysteries in astronomy - little red dots. Discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), they have upended everything we thought we knew about black holes and the evolution of the universe itself. Astronomical monsters, with the power to devour stars and even to stop time itself, black holes have both fascinated and troubled physicists for decades.
