Oldest Black Hole Ever Observed Discovered in Early Universe

Discovery Challenges Current Theories on Black Hole Formation and Growth

Astronomers have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed, dating back to the dawn of the universe, over 13 billion years ago.
The black hole, found in the galaxy GN-z11, is a few million times the mass of our Sun and is consuming its host galaxy at a rate five times higher than previously thought possible.
The discovery challenges current theories about how black holes form and grow, suggesting they might be 'born big' or grow at a much faster rate than previously believed.
The black hole was detected using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), marking a significant leap forward in black hole research.
Scientists believe that the discovery could lead to the identification of even older black holes in the coming months and years.
