This image showcases the most distant black hole ever detected in X-rays, which could help explain the formation of early supermassive black holes. The image combines data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope. The black hole, located in the galaxy UHZ1 within the Abell 2744 galaxy cluster, is approximately 13.2 billion light-years away and was observed when the universe was just 3% of its current age. The X-ray signal from the black hole is extremely faint, but was detected thanks to gravitational lensing. The discovery provides insight into the formation of supermassive black holes shortly after the Big Bang.
