James Webb telescope spots 'feasting' black hole eating 40 times faster than should be possible
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted a feeding black hole in the early universe that seems to be eating 40 times faster than is theoretically possible.
JWST Spots A Gluttonous Black Hole Feasting 40X Faster Than The Theoretical Limit
The discovery of the supermassive black, thought to be within 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, gives astronomers new insights into how black holes might have grown so rapidly in the early Universe.
This Black Hole Is Eating Stuff at Over 40 Times The Theoretical Limit
A supermassive black hole in the early Universe is the most voracious of its kind we've ever seen. It's sitting in the middle of a galaxy called LID-568, as seen just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang,
Researchers spot black hole feeding at 40x its theoretical limit
With the advent of the Webb Space Telescope, the problem has pushed up against theoretical limits. The matter falling into a black hole generates radiation, with faster feeding meaning more radiation.
Early Universe Black Hole Breaks Feeding Limits, Consuming 40 Times Faster Than Expected
A new observation by astronomers could change everything we know about the early years of the universe. Scientists have detected a greedy low-mass supermassive black hole which is growing extremely fast with the help of the magnificent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
Astronomers discover the fastest-feeding black hole in the early universe
Astronomers have discovered a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang that is consuming matter at a phenomenal rate -- over 40 times the theoretical limit.
Black hole in early universe appears to be consuming matter at over 40 times its theoretical limit
Supermassive black holes exist at the center of most galaxies, and modern telescopes continue to observe them at surprisingly early times in the universe's evolution.
