Oldest black hole ever seen 13 bn yrs old -Italian led study

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 17 - An Italian-led study published on Nature has discovered the oldest black hole ever seen, some 13 billion years old.
    The discovery, led by Cambridge University researcher Roberto Maiolino, was made thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency.
    The black hole dates back to just 400 million years after the Big Bang.
    The international team, which included other Italians and saw the contribution of Pisa's prestigious Scuola Normale, showed that the object is surprisingly large for the primordial universe, a few million times the size of our Sun, a discovery which calls into question current theories of how black holes are formed.
