Astronomers have discovered a supermassive black hole-powered quasar that may have helped "turn on the lights" in the early universe.
The intense brightening and dimming of this quasar was observed by NASA 's NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope ARray) X-ray space telescope.
The newly studied quasar is so distant that its light has been traveling to Earth for almost 13 billion years, putting it right at the end of the universe's "dark ages" The findings could help explain how black holes rapidly grew to possess masses equivalent to millions or billions of suns.
Scientists from Yale's Faculty of Arts and Sciences have found a jet pointing toward us from a supermassive black hole.
They say it could be the key to uncovering more early black holes and discovering how they grew so large.
The team presented their work at the 245th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in National Harbor , Maryland .
