Hubble is one of the greatest sources of our cosmic knowledge. This powerful telescope is enabling us to spot different object and landscape on distant celestial bodies, giving us better understanding of mechanisms that govern the space. One of the newest pieces of information could potentially shed some new light of the creation of black holes. This process is still quite mysterious to the scientific world, and we are solving this puzzle piece by piece. This particular object is the closest in age to the big event, that we have discovered so far.
Key Takeaways:
- One of the biggest mysteries that astronomers face are how black holes were formed in the early universe.
- A quasar is a luminous object that is expected to be powered by these giant black holes.
- There is a lot of strong evidence that shows the supermassive black holes were formed when the universe was formed.
