James Webb Space Telescope, supermassive black hole

James Webb telescope spots 'feasting' black hole eating 40 times faster than should be possible
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted a feeding black hole in the early universe that seems to be eating 40 times faster than is theoretically possible.
Webb telescope reveals rapid growth of primordial black hole
At the heart of our Milky Way galaxy lurks a supermassive black hole about four million times the mass of the sun, called Sagittarius A*. In fact, these objects, which increase in mass over time by eating material that wanders too close,
James Webb Telescope discovers monster black hole consuming matter 40 times faster than anything thought possible
Astronomers have discovered a supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy that is consuming matter at an extraordinary rate, surpassing the theoretical Eddington limit by more than 40 times.
'Hungriest ever' black hole discovered thanks to James Webb Space Telescope
Scientists have discovered a low-mass supermassive black hole feasting on material at a rate never seen before. A supermassive black hole is the largest type of black hole, with its mass being hundreds of thousands,
Astronomers discover the fastest-feeding black hole in the early universe
Astronomers have discovered a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang that is consuming matter at a phenomenal rate -- over 40 times the theoretical limit.
