The black hole is located in the galaxy CEERS 1019


Researchers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to discover the most distant active supermassive black hole ever seen.

The black hole is located in the galaxy CEERS 1019.

NASA said two smaller black holes were easily "shaken out" as well. The first, within galaxy CEERS 2782, and the second in galaxy CEERS 746.

The galaxy's black hole is also notable for how little its black hole weighs, coming in at about 9 million solar masses. That mass is far less than other black holes that also existed in the early universe.


"Ever seen?"

The defining characteristic of a Black Hole is that you can't see it.
