According to the report, the black hole discovered by the ESA/NASA/CSA “James Webb” telescope already had a mass of approximately 6 million times the mass of the Sun in the early phase of the universe.
It is stated that the size of supermassive black holes formed less than 1 billion years after the Big Bang contradicts the current formation theory that the initial mass of a black hole cannot exceed the mass of the Sun by millions. or billions.
Roberto Maiolino, lead astronomer at the University of Cambridge’s Department of Physics, described the discovery of the farthest and oldest known black hole from Earth as a “giant step forward” for black hole science.
As Ukrinform reports, a group of American astronomers previously using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb telescope discovered the most distant known active supermassive black hole in the galaxy CEERS 1019.
