Webb Telescope Unearths Monster in the Early Universe: A Supermassive Black Hole in GN-z11 The discovery of a supermassive black hole in the young galaxy GN-z11 challenges our understanding of black hole formation. This isn't the only mind-bending find – JWST may reveal a population of hidden black holes and reshape our view of the early universe's dynamism. Imagine peering into the deepest abyss of time, 13.4 billion years back to a mere 430 million years after the Big Bang. This is the incredible feat achieved by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), where it stumbled upon a mind-blowing discovery: a supermassive black hole residing in the heart of a young galaxy called GN-z11. GN-z11 itself is a record-breaker, holding the title of one of the farthest and youngest galaxies ever observed. But the presence of a supermassive black hole within it throws conventional theories of galaxy formation into disarray. These monstrous black holes, millions of times more massive than our...
