James Webb Space Telescope Detects Most Distant Supermassive Black Hole Ever Observed, Formed Just 570 Million Years After the Big Bang

Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered the most distant supermassive black hole ever observed, which existed 570 million years after the Big Bang.
The black hole has a mass of 9 million suns and was found in the galaxy CEERS 1019.
The Webb telescope also detected two smaller black holes that formed 1 billion and 1.1 billion years after the Big Bang as well as 11 galaxies that existed 470 million to 675 million years after the Big Bang.
The discovery of such a massive black hole so early in the universe's history challenges current theories of how supermassive black holes formed and grew so quickly.
CEERS 1019 emits both light from its active galactic nucleus as well as star formation, which is unexpected and could provide clues to how the earliest massive galaxies evolved.
