🔭 JWST spots 3 supermassive black holes in ancient galaxy

The James Webb Space Telescope discovered three actively feeding supermassive black holes in a galaxy observed over 12.5 billion light-years away. This finding was made by an international team researching the galaxy J0148-4214. The observations were gathered using the NIRSpec instrument, revealing these objects when the Universe was only about 1.2 billion years old. The study suggests that galaxy interactions significantly helped these black holes grow so rapidly in the early cosmos. Future analysis will focus on the potential merger timescale of the two central black holes. 🔭
