A Texas-led research team says this black hole is at the center of a galaxy created a mere 570 million years after the Big Bang.
The black hole is at the center of a galaxy dating to within a mere 570 million years of the Big Bang. That’s 100 million years closer to the beginning of the cosmos than a black hole identified in 2021 by a Chinese team using a telescope in Chile.
Because the signals from this particular black hole are weak, more observations are needed, according to the Texas-led team. Using Webb, the team also spotted two other small black holes from the early universe, dating to around 1 billion years after the Big Bang. The observations suggest that these downsized versions may have been more common as the cosmos took shape than previously thought.
