Astronomers at the University of Edinburgh discovered an 'ancient galaxy' which sits 25 million light years away from earth.
Named GS-9209, the galaxy is thought to have formed 600 to 800 million years after the Big Bang. The team say the 'massive' galaxy is the earliest of its kind to date.
They used the James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful telescope, to make the discovery. Researchers said it was a 'big surprise' to find a massive black hole at the centre of GS-9209.
