A groundbreaking discovery has been made with the detection of the earliest known massive black hole, existing a mere 470 million years after the Big Bang. This black hole, identified by the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the James Webb Space Telescope, challenges our understanding of black hole growth due to its immense mass, which rivals the total mass of its host galaxy's stars. The finding suggests that such black holes may have formed from "heavy seeds" created by the direct collapse of massive gas clouds, a theory that could rewrite our cosmic history books.
