TL;DR Summary

New analysis of data from the early Universe collected by the James Webb Space Telescope suggests that black holes and galaxies emerged together, with the black holes shaping the galaxies that evolved around them.

This discovery could significantly alter our understanding of how galaxies form and evolve.
