"13.2 Billion-Year-Old Black Hole Devouring Its Host Galaxy Discovered"

Scientists using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-Ray Observatory have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed, dating to just 400 million years after the Big Bang. This black hole, found in a compact galaxy called GN-z11, challenges previous theories about black hole formation due to its massive size and early existence. The findings suggest that the black hole may have been "born big" or consumed matter at a rate five times higher than previously thought possible, potentially hindering the development of its host galaxy.
