This record-breaking black hole could solve a galactic mystery billions of years in the making

The most distant and oldest black hole ever seen using NASA telescopes may explain how some of the celestial voids in the universe formed, according to the agency's Chandra X-ray Observatory.

A black hole 13.2 billion light-years from Earth was spotted at the center of the UHZ1 galaxy using the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the agency's James Webb Space Telescope. It was formed 470 million years after the big bang, which occurred 13.8 billion years ago, making it the oldest ever discovered, according to NASA.
