The newly found quasar, the most distant ever discovered, hosts a supermassive black hole equivalent to the combined mass of 1.6 billion suns.

New research may provide clues to the mystery of why some supermassive black holes launch jets of material out into space while others don't.

A new discovery "presents the biggest challenge yet for the theory of black hole formation and growth in the early universe."

Researchers have discovered the first evidence of a cloaked black hole in the early universe, existing just 850 million years after the Big Bang.

The discovery of the brightest quasar ever seen in the early universe suggests a "hidden" population still waiting for astronomers to find.
