About this listen

New James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal that a seemingly ordinary young galaxy, seen just 800 million years after the Big Bang, hides a rapidly growing, dust-enshrouded supermassive black hole.

Infrared data from JWST’s MIRI instrument challenge established models of black hole and galaxy co-evolution and suggest that many similar objects may remain undetected across the universe.
