James Webb Telescope Identifies Earliest Rapidly Growing Black Hole

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have identified MoM-BH*-1, the earliest known rapidly growing black hole, existing just 660 million years after the Big Bang. This object, described as a "black hole star" and 100,000 times the Sun's mass, primarily emits light from its central black hole. Published in Nature, this discovery provides strong evidence for a new type of cosmic object and could help explain the formation of supermassive black holes.
