TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the earliest known black hole in the universe, which has a mass of 10 million times that of the sun, at the center of a baby galaxy 570 million years after the universe began. Astronomers believe that this cosmic monster could be just one of countless black holes that gorged themselves to ever-larger sizes during the cosmic dawn. The researchers who found the latest black hole published their findings on the preprint server arXiv, but the research has not been peer-reviewed yet.
