Astronomers Detect Record-Breaking Black Hole Merger 740 Million Years Ago with JWST
May 16, 2024, 01:24 PM
Astronomers have utilized the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to detect the most distant black hole merger ever observed. This phenomenon, which occurred when the universe was only 740 million years old, marks the earliest detection of black holes merging together. The discovery sheds new light on the formation and evolution of black holes in the early universe. An international team of astronomers made this record-breaking discovery.
