"Webb Telescope Reveals Secrets of Primeval Galaxies and Early Universe"

The James Webb Space Telescope has enabled two teams of researchers to make significant discoveries about the distant galaxy GN-z11, including the identification of the most distant active supermassive black hole ever found. This black hole, located in a galaxy formed when the universe was only 430 million years old, is vigorously growing and likely responsible for the galaxy's exceptional luminosity. Additionally, the telescope's observations revealed a clump of pristine helium gas, indicating the potential formation of Population III star clusters, a significant goal in modern astrophysics. These findings have been published in academic journals, and further research will focus on understanding the nature of these distant celestial phenomena.
