Ever since the James Webb Space Telescope was launched, it has been telling us a lot about the universe. Similarly, it has discovered a galaxy that was formed 290 million years after the Big Bang and it is the oldest and farthest galaxy discovered till date. Earlier we had talked about JADES-GS-z7-01-QU  & JADES-GS-z13-0 galaxy, which was the oldest galaxy at that time, but JADES-GS-z14-0 has broken all the records. The JADES Team: Peering into the Distant Past JADES is an international team of astronomers leveraging the JWST's immense power to study the early universe. By observing faint objects at extreme distances, they effectively look back in time, piecing together the cosmos's story. Their recent discovery of JADES-GS-z14-0 pushes the frontier of our knowledge even further. JADES-GS-z14-0: A Galaxy Born in Infancy JADES-GS-z14-0 is estimated to have formed a mere 290 million years after the Big Bang, when the universe was only 2% of its current age. This makes it t...

  In the cosmic abyss, astronomers recently unearthed a behemoth unlike any other: the supermassive black hole residing in the galaxy UHZ1. This monstrous entity holds the title of the farthest black hole ever detected using X-rays, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the enigmatic realm of black hole formation in the infant universe. A Journey Back in Time: Unveiling UHZ1 UHZ1 isn't your average galactic neighbor. Its immense distance, a staggering 13.2 billion light-years, translates to observing it as it was a mere 3% of the universe's current age. Studying UHZ1 is akin to peering into a time capsule, witnessing the universe in its primordial state, brimming with potential and raw power. The Dwelling Beast: Properties of the UHZ1 Black Hole The true marvel of UHZ1 lies not in its distant location, but in the monstrous entity residing at its heart: a supermassive black hole with a mass estimated between 10 and 100 million times that of our Sun. This mind-boggling number becom...
