Image contains the most distant black hole ever detected in X-rays.

It is located in the galaxy UHZ1 in the direction of the galaxy cluster Abell 2744 .

The galaxy cluster is about 3.5 billion light -years from Earth .

The X-ray signal is extremely faint and Chandra was only able to detect it — even with this long observation — because of the phenomenon known as gravitational lensing that enhanced the signal by a factor of four .

The main image of this release features a glimpse of a black hole in an early stage of its development, just 470 million years after the Big Bang .

The James Webb Space Telescope is the world’s premier space science observatory.

It features scores of seemingly tiny celestial objects in a sea of black.

When magnified, the objects are revealed to be spiral and elliptical galaxies, and gleaming stars.
