The farthest black hole from Earth is CEERS 1019, discovered by JWST at a distance of 13.1 billion light years, which means it formed just over 570 million years after the Big Bang. The black hole is 9 million times more massive than the Sun, which is surprisingly small for black holes found in the early universe. Astronomers hope CEERS 1019 will help us understand how such supermassive black holes form.
