An abyss weighing six and a half billion Suns existed when the universe was just over a billion years old. Astronomers 'weighed' it for the first time by watching the dance of superheated gas. Such swift giants could upend our ideas about black hole growth.
🎯 The light from carbon ions used in the study was born just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang and traveled 12.8 billion light-years to reach our telescopes.
