LID-568 was previously identified by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, but observing it was challenging due to its faint ...

Black holes are fascinating objects. They're unimaginably dense: If Earth was (hypothetically) crushed into a black hole, it would be under an inch across. This profound density gives black holes ...

The black hole's voracious appetite, which has allowed it to pile on more than seven million solar masses in just 12 million ...

The new Webb observations involve a supermassive black hole called LID-568 that existed when the cosmos was about 11 per cent ...

The discovery of the supermassive black, thought to be within 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, gives astronomers new ...

A low-mass supermassive black hole appears to be consuming matter at over 40 times the theoretical limit. Astronomers using ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Chandra X-ray Observatory helped identify the “fastest-feeding black hole” - ...

Understanding how these black holes managed to grow so rapidly in the early universe has posed significant challenges.

Astronomers have detected the hungriest black hole in the early universe with the help of Chandra X-ray Observatory and NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). It has been found that the black hole ...

Supermassive black holes exist at the center of most galaxies, and modern telescopes continue to observe them at surprisingly ...

"Owing to its faint nature, the detection of LID-568 would be impossible without JWST. Using the integral field spectrograph ...
