This black hole was discovered by an international research team using telescopes in China, Hawaii, Arizona, and Chile.

It lies at the center of a quasar with energy radiating billions of times the Sun's rays (distant quasars, like a star and emitting a strong electromagnetic radiation - NV).

According to Space magazine on February 25, this is the biggest and brightest black hole ever discovered. However, what surprised the scientific world was that it was "young" , only formed after the Big Bang 875 million years, and finding it could challenge all theories about the process of forming black holes.

"With the current theories, it is difficult to explain why such a large black hole was so quickly formed," said Dr. Fuyan Bian - Australian National Astronomical and Astrophysics Department. and the study author said.

So far, astronomers have discovered more than 200,000 quasars formed about 700 million years after the Big Bang. Despite their great brightness, they are still dim because they are too far away and difficult to find.
