Scientists have discovered a supermassive black Hole quasar, which originates from the very beginnings of the universe and it was “born” about 690 million years after the Big Bang.
What’s extraordinary about this black hole, aside from its massive size, is that its discovery will help scientists comprehend the processes of their growth during the time the universe was still forming.
An international team of scientists worked on this study, which has been published in Nature, and discovered the farthest and likely the earliest black Hole Quasar ever.
“Quasars are among the brightest and most-distant known celestial objects and are crucial to understanding the early universe,” said Bram Venemans from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany in a statement .
Roughly 400,000 years after the original explosion, a lot of high energy particles slowed down and cooled down to become neutral hydrogen gas.
