"James Webb Telescope Uncovers Universe's Oldest Black Hole"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered the oldest black hole ever seen, a 13-billion-year-old object that is surprisingly massive and "eating" its host galaxy. This challenges assumptions about how black holes form and grow, suggesting they might be 'born big' or can eat matter at a rate five times higher than previously thought possible. The discovery represents a new era in astronomy, made possible by the powerful capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope.
