Astrophysicists have discovered the oldest known black hole, GN-z11, using the James Webb Space Telescope.

Located 13.4 billion light-years away, GN-z11 formed just 400 million years after the Big Bang, challenging current cosmological theories.

GN-z11 is six million times more massive than the sun and is consuming its surrounding galaxy at a faster rate than anticipated.

This discovery suggests that early universe black holes may have formed differently, raising questions about our understanding of these cosmic objects.

The findings imply black holes might have grown quickly post Big Bang through massive star explosions or direct collapse of dense gas clouds.

This discovery holds major implications for our understanding of the universe and could lead to finding even earlier black holes.

The James Webb Space Telescope, along with other telescopes, aims to uncover more early universe black holes, marking a new era in astronomy.
