US EditionThe Cosmic Giant Challenging Our Understanding of Galaxy Formation in the Early Universe
QSO1 hosts a 50 million-solar-mass black hole in a chemically primitive galaxy, challenging models by suggesting black holes may form before stars, researchers say.

The cosmic giant challenging our understanding of galaxy formation in the early universe
Scientists have discovered a giant black hole that they believe may have been formed in the first few microseconds after the Big Bang. The black hole is so huge that it may change our understanding of how these cosmic giants form. If the findings are confirmed, this will be the first evidence of primordial black holes, which were predicted to exist by Stephen Hawking in the 1970s.
JWST May Have Found The First Direct Evidence of a Primordial Black Hole
A tiny blob of red light spotted at the beginning of the Universe could represent the first direct evidence for a supermassive black hole formation pathway. In a dazzling new paper, a large international team led by astrophysicist Ignas Juodžbalis of the University of Cambridge in the UK has directly measured the mass of one of the mysterious 'Little Red Dots' (LRDs) spotted by JWST in the Epoch of Reionization, just 600 million years after the …
Scientists using the James Webb Telescope have discovered a black hole, known as QS01, which they believe may have formed shortly after the Big Bang, or before it was engulfed by a galaxy. It is surrounded by a diffuse halo and appears as a small red dot through the telescope. Confirmation of the discovery of the so-called primordial black hole could turn theories about the universe upside down.
Scientists using the James Webb Telescope have discovered a black hole, known as QS01, which they believe could have formed just after the Big Bang, or before it was surrounded by a galaxy.
Astronomers Just Spot a 50-Million-Sun Black Hole With No Galaxy Around It
A tiny red speck in the distant universe may hold the key to one of the oldest cosmic mysteries. According to a new preprint study uploaded to arXiv by a team of astronomers led by Ignas Juodžbalis, from the University of Cambridge, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected what could be the first direct evidence of a primordial black hole — a long-theorized but never-before-seen type of black hole formed in the first seconds after the …
JWST Detects Ancient Black Hole That May Date Back to the Big Bang
Astronomers working with the James Webb Space Telescope have identified an object that has the potential to alter the timeline of cosmic history as it has been understood for decades. The source, known as A2744-QSO1 or simply QSO1, is a compact quasar more than 13 billion light years away, placing it at a time when […] The post JWST Detects Ancient Black Hole That May Date Back to the Big Bang appeared first on Above The Norm News.
