Can I start the fight over which emoji we use?! For no biased reasons we should use this one: 🪐

And, of course, I wouldn't be me if I didn't shout about just HOW MANY GALAXIES THERE ARE in our newly-released FULL CEERS field image!! Download the high-resolution image (NOT on your phone) and get lost in space with us!

And it's not just black holes we've been finding in our CEERS JWST spectra, but we're also able to measure the distances to galaxies first discovered in our JWST NIRCam images. The papers, led by Seiji Fujimoto and Pablo Arabal Haro, are seeing even further back!

The press release also highlights two other AGNs (active black holes) identified in Dale Kocevski's paper. These two are smaller and not the dominant source of light we detect, speaking to the power of JWST's resolution.

Why is this so interesting? Well, it's the first (of many to come, I hope!) black hole we've detected so early in the Universe. This is possible due to JWST's wavelength coverage (it can see further objects) and sensitivity (it can see fainter ones too)!

Here's a highlight about the black hole, CEERS 1019 that shows the emission from both the host galaxy (purple) and the black hole (yellow) in our CEERS JWST NIRSpec data. Plus, an image from NIRCam where you can make out the multiple physical components!

😎 Love that you centered the image on it! 😁

We found the most distant (to-date) active black hole at the center of a galaxy ~570 Myrs after the Big Bang (>13.2B yrs ago)!! 🧪
Now with an official press release and fancy graphics from the fine people at Space Telescope Science Institute and NASA 😍

Webb Detects Most Distant Active Supermassive Black Hole to Date
Researchers have discovered the most distant active supermassive black hole to date with the James Webb Space Telescope. The galaxy, CEERS 1019, existed just over 570 million years after the big bang,...
