A team of Italian scientists has found what appears to be the oldest supermassive black hole yet. The black hole named PSO J0309+27 is supposed to be formed just 900 million years after the Big Bang. The team of scientists speculates that there were probably hundreds more black holes just like it during the earliest days of the universe’s occurrence. Through the study, the scientists were able to find that, in the first billion years of the life of the universe, there existed a large number of very massive black holes releasing powerful relativistic jets.
