Astronomers Witness , Merger of 2 Black Holes, From the 'Cosmic Dawn'.<br />'The Independent' reports that NASA's <br />Webb Space Telescope has made the most <br />distant detection of merging black holes. .<br />Two gigantic black holes and the galaxies that they stood <br />at the center of merged together just 740 million years <br />after the universe was formed in the Big Bang.<br />One of the black holes is a staggering 50 million <br />times larger than our Sun, and the other <br />is believed to be a similar gigantic size. .<br />Astronomers have long wondered how supermassive black holes are so big. .<br />Lead author Hannah Ubler of the University of Cambridge <br />says the findings suggest that mergers like this ancient <br />example show how black holes are able to grow so rapidly.<br />According to Ubler, the latest Webb <br />discovery also suggests that black holes <br />have been merging since the "cosmic dawn.".<br />Massive black holes <br />have been shaping <br />the evolution of galaxies <br />from the very beginning, Hannah Ubler, lead author from the University <br />of Cambridge, via 'The Independent'.<br />In 2021, NASA launched Webb, intended <br />to replace the Hubble Space Telescope.<br />Webb is the largest and most powerful <br />observatory ever launched into space. .<br />The joint U.S.-European project surveys <br />the universe from a vantage point located <br />about 1 million miles away from Earth.
