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.

The discovery represents a new era in astronomy, made possible by the powerful capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope.
