A team of astronomers from the U.S. National Science Foundation NOIRLab astronomers has discovered a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy that formed just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. This black hole is consuming matter at an astonishing rate—over 40 times the theoretical limit—using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Chandra X-ray Observatory. These findings were published in Nature Astronomy.
