ESA’s Euclid telescope discovers 31 ancient quasars, including the two oldest ever found, shining with a trillion suns’ light from 750 million years after the Big Bang.
Astronomers capture the first direct image of two supermassive black holes orbiting each other in galaxy 0402+379, 4.4 billion light-years away.
New JWST and Chandra data provide the clearest evidence that supermassive black holes can form directly from collapsing gas clouds, bypassing stellar collapse entirely. A paradigm shift.
