TL;DR Summary

Using the JWST, astronomers have discovered a red, gravitationally lensed supermassive black hole in the early universe, challenging our understanding of the relationship between black holes and galaxies. The black hole is unusually large relative to its host galaxy and obscured by thick dust, leading to mind-blowing spectra and surprising insights into its mass compared to the host galaxy. This finding raises questions about the growth of supermassive black holes and their interplay with host galaxies in the early cosmos.
