Webb telescope captures image of rare and powerful celestial object.

The James Webb Space Telescope captured an image of a quasar, a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy, surrounded by around 20,000 galaxies. The image helps researchers understand how the universe evolved over 13 billion years ago, when colossal clouds of murky gas began to clear up. The quasar is millions to billions times brighter than the sun and is ancient, at around 13 billion years old. The Webb telescope is designed to peer into the deepest cosmos and reveal unprecedented insights about the early universe, using its giant mirror, infrared view, and specialized equipment.
