Beginning
Researchers have observed a large black hole that gained mass at a rate much faster than scientists had thought possible.
New observations from the Webb telescope involve the largest kind of black hole, a supermassive black hole. It is called LID-568. Scientists say it existed when the universe was about 11 percent of its current age.
Background of a black hole
Black holes are extremely dense objects with gravity so strong that not even light can escape. With their powerful gravitational pull, they grow in mass by taking in material such as gas, dust and stars that are nearby.
A supermassive black hole about four million times the mass of the sun, called Sagittarius A*, is at the center of our…
