Astronomers have discovered the oldest supermassive black hole yet – almost dating back to the time of the Big Bang. The black hole, which is an estimated 10 to 100 million times more massive than our sun, is 13.2 billion light-years away in the galaxy UHZ-1. This means its light has travelled 13.2 billion years to reach our space telescopes – making it an astonishing snapshot of the ancient past.
