The Webb telescope has discovered a supermassive black hole 13 billion years ago. (Picture/return to NASA website) The James Webb Space Telescope (James Webb Space Telescope) recently brought another shocking discovery, because it discovered a supermassive black hole with an age of more than 13 billion years. According to “CNN” reports, the black hole is located in the ancient galaxy CEERS 1019, which may have formed 570 million years following the big bang and 13 billion years ago. Scientists are very confused regarding the black hole and wonder how small it is. NASA pointed out that the mass of the black hole is regarding 9 million times the mass of the sun, and the mass of one sun is 333,000 times that of the earth. It is reported that the Webb telescope can focus on dim, distant black holes, which is its specialty, and can detect otherwise invisible light with highly sensitive instruments. Scholars say the Webb telescope can see data from black holes in nearby galaxies. The researchers not only saw the black hole this time, but also discovered two other nearby black holes. They seemed to be formed 1 billion years following the big bang, and they were lighter than the black holes of the same period. The black hole of CEER 1019 is a mystery to scientists, and it is currently unknown How this tiny black hole formed in the early universe. According to reports, the CEER 1019 galaxy looks like a string of three bright spots, unlike the single disk-shaped structure of other galaxies. Jeyhan Kartaltepe, a member of the CEERS team at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York, said galaxy mergers may increase the activity of black holes, allowing stars to multiply. The researchers also pointed out that the black hole in CEERS 1019 may shortly become the most distant active supermassive black hole on record. At present, the astronomical community has provided a large amount of data and wants to discover more distant black holes. NASA says they can complete the mission in just a few weeks.
