Astronomers discover an extremely bright ‘Little Red Dot’ within the earliest galaxies of the Universe—dating back a few hundred million years after the Big Bang—and it appears to be a new type of astrophysical object.
The mission: A nine-hour access window to create a high-res digital twin of the Liberty Bell forced our team to combine four forms of optical capture and check every dataset before leaving Philadelphia.
