James Webb Telescope Captures Earliest Black Hole Merger

Discovery of two supermassive black holes merging 740 million years after the Big Bang offers new insights into early universe evolution.

Researchers observed the merger of two galaxies and their central black holes, each around 50 million solar masses.
The event occurred just 740 million years after the Big Bang, providing clues about rapid black hole growth.
The findings challenge current models of black hole formation and galaxy evolution.
The Webb Telescope's advanced capabilities allowed for detailed observation of dense, fast-moving ionized gas.
Future observations may reveal more about the role of black hole mergers in shaping the universe.
