Astronomers have discovered the oldest and most distant black hole ever seen in X-rays, using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, James Webb Space Telescope, and ground-based telescopes.

The black hole, named J1342+0928, is located in the galaxy UHZ1, 3.5 billion light-years away from Earth, and is estimated to be 13.2 billion years old and 800 million times the mass of our Sun.

This discovery challenges previous theories about the formation of black holes, suggesting that some supermassive black holes may have formed earlier than previously believed.

The discovery supports the theory that supermassive black holes existed at the beginning of the universe.

The James Webb Space Telescope will continue to study galaxies and their black holes to deepen our understanding of the universe's evolution.

Further research is required to fully understand the formation of supermassive black holes in the early universe.
