The oldest quasars in the universe shed new light on a cosmic mystery

The space telescope Euclid has discovered 31 quasars in the early universe, two of which date back to just 670 million years after the Big Bang. These quasars, which are extremely luminous due to supermassive black holes at their centers, provide insights into the formation and growth of these massive objects in the young universe. The findings, published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, suggest that these quasars existed much earlier than previously thought, shedding light on one of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics: how such massive black holes could form so quickly in the early cosmos.

Bias read (Center): The article discusses scientific discoveries related to quasars and their implications for understanding the early universe. It does not involve political figures, policies, or contentious issues, making it apolitical in nature.
