Early Universe Black Hole Breaks Feeding Limits

Black hole in early universe appears to be consuming matter at over 40 times its theoretical limit
Supermassive black holes exist at the center of most galaxies, and modern telescopes continue to observe them at surprisingly early times in the universe's evolution.
Early Universe Black Hole Breaks Feeding Limits, Consuming 40 Times Faster Than Expected
A new observation by astronomers could change everything we know about the early years of the universe. Scientists have detected a greedy low-mass supermassive black hole which is growing extremely fast with the help of the magnificent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
NSF NOIRLab astronomers discover the fastest-feeding black hole in the early universe
Using data from NASA’s JWST and Chandra X-ray Observatory, a team of U.S. National Science Foundation NOIRLab astronomers have discovered a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang that is consuming matter at a phenomenal rate — over 40 times the theoretical limit.

This Black Hole Is Eating Stuff at Over 40 Times The Theoretical Limit
A supermassive black hole in the early Universe is the most voracious of its kind we've ever seen. It's sitting in the middle of a galaxy called LID-568, as seen just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang,
