This #BlackHoleWeek, we're pulled in by the farthest active supermassive black hole ever spotted. Webb's image shows the black hole's host: GN-z11, a galaxy that existed when our 13.8 billion-year-old universe was only about 430 million years old.

#BlackHoleWeek Day 2! ⚫ 🌌
Did you know we can now measure the mass of a #BlackHole so far away that its light takes 11 billion years to reach us? 🤯
Here’s how it works 👇

This Orrery (by @actualdrdoctor) illustrates the diverse black hole binaries and neutron star black–hole binaries from our O3b run. More massive binaries are shown as orbiting more slowly
