using the Chandra and Webb telescopes. X-ray emission is a telltale signature of a growing supermassive black hole. This result may explain how some of the first supermassive black holes in the universe formed. This composite image shows the galaxy cluster Abell 2744 that UHZ1 is located behind, in X-rays from Chandra and infrared data from Webb .

Astronomers using two NASA space telescopes have found one of the farthest black holes from the solar system using a rare alignment of galaxies that act as a magnifying glass. . “We also took advantage of a cosmic magnifying glass that boosted the amount of light we detected.” However, JWST observations revealed UHZ1 to be behind the cluster, a whopping 13.2 billion light-years from the solar system. That makes it just 3% of the universe’s current age.JWST was able to make the discovery thanks to gravitational lensing. It describes a scenario when the gravitational field of a foreground object is so intense that it distorts the space around it and bends the light from an object behind it into circular rings, both revealing its existence and magnifying it.
