TL;DR Summary

The Webb Space Telescope has discovered the most distant black hole yet, located at the center of a galaxy dating back to 570 million years after the Big Bang. Although more observations are needed due to weak signals, the Texas-led team has also spotted two smaller black holes from the early universe, suggesting that these downsized versions may have been more common than previously thought. Webb, the largest and most powerful telescope in space, continues to unveil new insights into the cosmos.
