A remarkable discovery in the cosmos reveals a black hole situated 11.6 billion light-years away from Earth. This extraordinary black hole emits a powerful jet, which is illuminated by the faint remnants of the Big Bang, often referred to as the universe’s ‘oldest light.’
This finding not only showcases the immense energy produced by black holes but also provides insight into the early universe. The interaction of this jet with the ancient light helps scientists understand the evolution of the universe and the forces at play in its formation. Given the vast distance, observing such phenomena allows astronomers to gather valuable data about cosmic events that shaped our reality.
