early supermassive black holeLive Science
•72% Informative
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a supermassive black hole at "cosmic dawn" It was seen as it was when the universe was just around 5% of its current age.
The black hole has a mass that is over a billion times that of the sun.
It doesn't seem like this giant void was feasting on much surrounding matter during that time.
But, in order to reach its immense size, one would expect it to have been ravenous.
MIRI observations of this quasar showed that the cosmic supply chain functions similarly to that of "modern" quasars.
That's bad news for proponents of the theory that an enhanced feeding mechanism led to the quick growth of early black holes.
The research favors another method of early supermassive black hole growth that suggests these cosmic titans got a head start.
