After analyzing infrared images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of researchers has discovered multiple massive black holes from approximately 12.5-12.8 billion years ago that were actively accumulating surrounding matter and growing rapidly. Some were even on the path to merging, according to a study published Aug. 31 in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan.
