The earliest black holes in the universe may not have disappeared from Hawking radiation after all, new research hints. Instead, they fed on the energy of the ancient cosmos to grow supermassive.

The James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed the most distant, early galaxy in the known universe. The new contender, MoM-z14, is visible just 280 million years after the Big Bang.

An extremely early Type II supernova explosion, named after the Titan goddess of dawn in Greek mythology, occurred just 1 billion years after the Big Bang.

Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope spotted huge stars leaking nitrogen in an early galaxy, hinting that such 'monster stars' might have been the source of ancient supermassive black holes.

The James Webb telescope may have detected the universe's earliest and most distant known black hole at the heart of galaxy GHZ2, revealing how the first black holes grew just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.

A peculiar object discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope just 700 million years after the Big Bang could reveal the origins of the earliest black holes in the universe, some experts say.

While scouring images from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers spotted Capotauro, "one of the most puzzling discoveries" to date.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have charted billions of years of galactic evolution, finding that galaxies near the dawn of time were much more chaotic than they are today.

A faint radio "whisper" from ancient hydrogen reveals the universe was heating up long before it filled with starlight.

Near-infrared images from the James Webb Space Telescope revealed five early universe galaxies merging within a large halo.
