Scientists using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-Ray Observatory have discovered the oldest black hole yet, which formed about 470 million years after the Big Bang. The black hole is estimated to be 13.2 billion years old, making it 10 times bigger than the black hole in our Milky Way galaxy. It is believed to weigh anywhere from 10 percent to 100 percent the mass of all the stars in its galaxy. The discovery confirms the theory that supermassive black holes existed in the early universe.
