Utilizing NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have uncovered three supermassive black holes that are actively accumulating matter within the ancient galaxy J0148-4214, which existed approximately 1.2 billion years post-Big Bang. The light from this galaxy has traversed over 12.5 billion years to reach our planet, exhibiting a redshift measurement of 5.02. The estimated masses of the black holes are 80 million, 2 million, and 0.6 million times that of our Sun. This groundbreaking discovery may shed light on the rapid growth and merging of massive black holes in the early universe.
