TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has observed starlight from two early galaxies hosting feeding supermassive black holes, or quasars, for the first time. The observations revealed the mass of the galaxies and the mass of the supermassive black holes, providing insights into how these black holes grow and evolve with their galaxies. The findings support the existing relationship between the masses of supermassive black holes and their galaxies, even in the early universe. This groundbreaking discovery was made possible by the JWST's ability to separate the light from quasars and stars in these distant galaxies.
