'Not so exotic anymore': The James Webb telescope is unraveling the truth about the universe's first black holes
A peculiar object discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope just 700 million years after the Big Bang could reveal the origins of the earliest black holes in the universe, some experts say.
At the heart of the Milky Way, just 27,000 light-years from Earth, there is a supermassive black hole with a mass of more than 4 million suns. Nearly all galaxies contain a supermassive black hole, and many of them are much more massive.
The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when all of space, time, and energy were born from a single infinitely dense point.
Astronomers caught a rogue black hole tearing apart a star 2,600 light-years from its galaxy’s center — a first-of-its-kind cosmic event.
Black holes are considered cosmic gluttons, from which not even light can escape. That is also why the images of black holes at the center of the galaxy M87 and our Milky Way, published a few years ago by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration,
A Milky Way-sized galaxy from the early universe appears to have stopped producing any new stars because a supermassive black hole at its center is blasting out all the material needed for stars to be forged, researchers suggest. Nicknamed Pablo's Galaxy ...
