Miracle find! James Webb Telescope discovers farthest known supermassive black hole

[ad_1] Supermassive black holes are incredibly powerful objects in space that even have the power to hold galaxies together with their strong gravity. They have the ability to destroy anything that comes too close to them. And luckily enough, the James Webb Telescope has discovered the farthest supermassive black hole known so far.The distances in space are unbelievably huge. According to the University of Texas at Austin, the new supermassive black hole is located at the center of a galaxy called CEERS 1019. Amazingly, this galaxy was formed just 570 million years after the Big Bang. Along with the supermassive black hole, scientists also found two smaller black holes that formed 1 billion and 1.1 billion years after the Big Bang.

Miracle! James Webb Telescope discovers OLDEST black hole in the universe

[ad_1] Black holes are extremely dense regions of space formed by the collapse of giant stars at the end of their life cycle. They are places in space where the pull of gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, not even light. According to NASA, black holes can be differentiated into two, depending on their mass. The first is a Stellar Black Hole which is formed from a single star. The other is a Supermassive Black Hole which forms due to merging of other black holes.Although black holes have been captured before by several space and ground-based telescopes, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has just discovered a stunning image of the black hole, one which lets us peek back in time. Oldest black hole everThe supermassive black hole, discovered by JWST, has a mass 10 times that o...
