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.

We now now they come in a range of sizes, but what are the biggest and smallest black holes we have discovered?
