DescPandora Cluster (NIRCam Image).Astronomers found the most distant black hole ever detected in X-rays (in a galaxy dubbed UHZ1) using the Chandra and Webb space telescopes. X-ray emission is a telltale signature of a growing supermassive black hole. This result may explain how some of the first supermassive black holes in the universe formed. This image is the infrared image from Webb only, and shows the galaxy cluster Abell 2744 that UHZ1 is located behind.
