Astronomers discovered the most fast -growing black hole in the early Universe, which arose 1.5 billion years after the “Big Bang” and absorbing the matter 40 times faster than the extremely possible indicator.
According to Science Daily, a black hole called LID-568 was discovered by a team of astronomers under the leadership of Hovon Su, one of the astronomers of the Gemini/NSF NoirLAB International Observatory and the Association of Universities in Astronomy (USA). For their research, scientists used the James Webba space telescope.
The results of the study open up new opportunities for studying the origin of ultra -massive black holes, which could be formed from light “seeds” that arose after the collapse of the first stars and from heavy gas clouds.
The study is published in the journal Nature Astronomy.
