Astronomers have discovered the most distant black hole yet using the Webb Space Telescope, but that record isn't expected to last. The black hole is at the center of a galaxy dating to within a mere 570 million years of the Big Bang. Webb already has spotted other black holes that appear to be even closer to the Big Bang nearly 14 billion years ago, but those findings are still under review, said University of Texas at Austin astronomer Steven Finkelstein, one of the lead researchers.
