Cambridge Astronomers Detect Dormant Black Hole 400 Million Times the Sun's Mass in Early Universe Using ESA Webb
Dec 18, 2024, 04:44 PM
Astronomers from Cambridge University have detected a dormant black hole, approximately 400 million times the mass of the Sun, in the early universe. This discovery was made using the European Space Agency's Webb telescope. The finding indicates that black holes may undergo periods of rapid growth followed by long dormancy, challenging existing models of black hole development. The black hole's inactivity suggests that, similar to a post-feast nap, these cosmic entities can experience phases of gorging followed by extended periods of rest.
