Astronomers Detect Most Distant Black Hole Merger 740 Million Years Ago with Webb Telescope
May 16, 2024, 02:32 PM
Astronomers have used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to detect the most distant black hole merger ever observed. This record-breaking event, which occurred 740 million years after the Big Bang, provides new insights into the early universe. The discovery marks the first time such a phenomenon has been detected so early in the universe's history, shedding light on the formation and evolution of black holes. An international team of astronomers was involved in this groundbreaking research, which was also captured in a video.
