Astronomers have discovered the most distant "supermassive" black hole known to science.<\/p>\n

The matter-munching sinkhole is a whopping 13 billion light-years away, so far that we see it as it was a mere 690 million years after the Big Bang.<\/p>\n

But at about 800 million times the mass of our Sun, it managed to grow to a surprisingly large size in just a short time after the origin of the Universe.<\/p>\n

The find is described in the journal Nature<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The newly discovered black hole is busily devouring material at the centre of a galaxy \u2013 marking it out as a so-called quasar. <\/p>\n

Matter, such as gas, falling onto the black hole will form an ultra-hot mass of material orbiting around it known as an accretion disk. <\/p>\n

"Quasars are among the brightest and most distant known celestial objects and are crucial to understanding the early Universe," said co-author Bram Venemans of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany.<\/p>\n

This quasar is interesting because it comes from a time when the Universe was just 5% of its current age. <\/p>\n

At this time, the cosmos was beginning to emerge from a period known as the dark ages \u2013 just before the first stars appeared.<\/p>\n

"Gathering all this mass in under 690 million years is an enormous challenge for theories of supermassive black hole growth," said co-author Eduardo Ba\u00f1ados, from the Carnegie Institution for Science.<\/p>\n

The quasar's distance is described by a property called its redshift \u2013 a measurement of how much the wavelength of its light is stretched by the expansion of the Universe before reaching Earth. <\/p>\n

The newly discovered black hole has a redshift of 7.54. The higher the redshift, the greater the distance, and the farther back astronomers are looking in time when they observe the object. <\/p>\n

Prior to this discovery, the record-holder for the furthest known quasar existed when the Universe was about 800 million years old<\/a>. <\/p>\n

"Despite extensive searches, it took more than half a decade to catch a glimpse of something this far back in the history of the Universe," said Dr Ba\u00f1ados.<\/p>\n

The discovery of a massive black hole so early on may provide key clues on conditions that abounded when the Universe was young.<\/p>\n

"This finding shows that a process obviously existed in the early Universe to make this monster," Dr Ba\u00f1ados explained. <\/p>\n

"What that process is? Well, that will keep theorists very busy."<\/p>\n

The unexpected discovery is based on data amassed from observatories around the world. This includes data from the Gemini North observatory on Hawaii's Maunakea volcano and a Nasa space telescope called the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (Wise).<\/p>\n
