James Webb Space Telescope detects most distant active supermassive black hole ever seen

Researchers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to discover the most distant active supermassive black hole ever seen.

The black hole is located in the galaxy CEERS 1019.

NASA said two smaller black holes were easily "shaken out" as well. The first, within galaxy CEERS 2782, and the second in galaxy CEERS 746.

"Researchers have long known that there must be lower mass black holes in the early universe. Webb is the first observatory that can capture them so clearly," team member Dale Kocevski, of Colby College, explained in a release. "Now we think that lower mass black holes might be all over the place, waiting to be discovered."
