Scientists discover why black holes are growing so fast

Astronomers have discovered a young black hole that began rapidly growing just 1 billion years after the Big Bang. This finding helps explain how supermassive black holes formed in the early universe.

Scientists identified a blazar—a rare and extremely powerful active galactic nucleus—whose light traveled 12.9 billion light-years before reaching Earth. This suggests that such massive objects were common in the early universe.

How do blazars affect black hole growth?
Blazars emit high-energy particle jets, formed by magnetic fields surrounding black holes. These relativistic jets may accelerate black hole growth, allowing them to gain mass much faster.

The study, led by Eduardo Bañados, was published in ScitechDaily. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
