•James Webb Space Telescope catches monster black hole napping after 'overeating' in the early universe
69% Informative
Scientists have found a dormant supermassive black hole that existed 800 million years after the Big Bang .
It is the most massive black hole seen by the JWST in the early universe.
The discovery further complicates the mystery of how black holes got so massive so quickly.
It's possible that black holes are 'born big,' but another possibility is they go through periods of hyperactivity and dormancy.
The dormancy period of these black holes lasts 10 to 20 times longer than the phase of super-Eddington accretion.
This monsterous early black hole may just be the tip of the iceberg.
Unfortunately, the dormant nature of these monsters will make them difficult for astronomers to discover.
