"James Webb Telescope Discovers Enigmatic 'Extremely Red' Supermassive Black Hole"

TL;DR Summary
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered an "extremely red" supermassive black hole in one of the oldest parts of the universe, suggesting it formed just 700 million years after the Big Bang. This rare find challenges current understanding of how supermassive black holes grow relative to their host galaxies and raises questions about the relationship between the two. The black hole was spotted in the central core of Pandora's Cluster, 4 billion light-years from Earth, and its massive size and unique properties have astronomers rethinking early black hole formation and growth.
