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.

Did you know that supermassive black holes are found in a unique class of galaxies called compact symmetric objects? They are characterized for emitting super-fast power jets. To learn more, visit: bit.ly/4dt0PeH 📹: B. Saxton/@TheNRAO/AUI/NSF #BlackHoleWeek pic.twitter.com/cZvvw7f7oE

Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of the galaxy, has a mass 4.3 million times greater than the sun. It comprises 99.9% of the mass at the center of the Milky Way. 📌 bit.ly/3JR7Poc 📷 @geminiobs @NOIRLabAstro/ NSF/AURA/J. da Silva #BlackHoleWeek pic.twitter.com/KriQYlAUNs

How does a black hole eat? The Andromeda Galaxy, our cosmic neighbor, is fed by rivers of galactic dust that flow into the supermassive black hole at its center. This tasty treat dropped just in time for #BlackHoleWeek. go.nasa.gov/3wjhjW9 pic.twitter.com/ZBX92UbnJC
