Astronomers detected a supermassive black hole only 750 million years after the Big Bang.
Astronomers discovered a rapidly growing black hole in one of the most extreme galaxies from the early universe.
Their observations shed new light on the formation of the earliest supermassive black holes and their role in early galaxies.in the journal, show a supermassive black hole in a galaxy named COS-87259. This galaxy is an incredibly productive stellar nursery, as it produces stars at a rate 1000 times that of our own Milky Way and contains over a billion solar masses worth of interstellar dust.
These types of growing supermassive black holes are typically referred to as active galactic nucleus. The one observed by the scientists appears to be generating a powerful jet of material through the host galaxy at a velocity near the speed of light.The supermassive black hole in the new images is so far away that astronomers observed an image of the cosmic giant as it appeared only 750 million years after the Big Bang.
