The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected evidence of a merger between two galaxies and their massive black holes when the universe was only 740 million years old. This discovery represents the most distant detection of a black hole merger ever recorded. Scientists have confirmed the existence of a 'plunging region' around black holes, as predicted by Einstein in 1915. The Webb Telescope has observed the earliest known merger of black holes, providing insights into the universe's early history.

Our earliest, most distant look yet at a black hole merger 👀 Webb detected evidence of a collision between two galaxies and their massive black holes, so far away that we're seeing it as it was when the universe was 740 million years old.
