"James Webb Telescope Unveils Universe's Ancient Black Hole"

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the oldest black hole ever seen, a supermassive black hole with the mass of 1.6 million suns, located 13 billion years in the past. This black hole was found at the center of the infant galaxy GN-z11, just 440 million years after the universe began. The discovery of these ancient black holes could help explain how supermassive black holes in the present-day universe grew to such enormous sizes. The researchers believe that these early black holes may have formed from the collapse of giant gas clouds or through mergers between stars and black holes. However, the possibility of primordial black holes, created moments after the universe began, has not been ruled out.
