Among its most notable findings is GRB250314A, a gamma-ray burst originating from just 730 million years after the birth of ...

While it's much smaller than the largest supermassive black holes detected, it's still a whopper considering how early in the ...

We have a hard time explaining the existence of supermassive black holes in the early universe. It looks like there just isn't enough time to make them from "normal" processes. So maybe it was ...
