A groundbreaking discovery has been made by astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): the universe's oldest black hole, dating back to just 400 million years following the Big Bang. This ancient black hole, found in the host galaxy GN-z11, is devouring its surroundings at an astonishing rate. Lead author of the study, Professor Roberto Maiolino from the University of Cambridge, described the finding as "a giant leap forward" in our understanding of black hole formation and growth.
