TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the most distant actively-feeding supermassive black hole ever observed. This black hole, known as CEERS 1019, is one of the least massive seen in the early universe, measuring about 9 million suns. The discovery challenges current understanding of how supermassive black holes grow. The telescope also spotted two other black holes and 11 galaxies from the early universe. The findings provide valuable insights into the early universe and the growth of galaxies.
