Webb Space Telescope Detects Universe’s Oldest Active Supermassive Black Hole
The farthest active supermassive black hole ever recorded has been found by researchers utilizing the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This black hole, which is found in the galaxy CEERS 1019, was active about 570 million years after the Big Bang and is distinctive because it is the smallest black hole ever found from this early period of the universe. According to the study, two more black holes that were smaller than usual were discovered between 1 billion and 1.1 billion years after the Big Bang. Eleven galaxies from a time when the cosmos was between 470 million and 675 million years old have also been discovered by JWST.
