Giant black holes were supposed to be bit players in the early cosmic story. But recent James Webb Space Telescope observations are finding an unexpected abundance of the beasts.
• Christina Eilers had been planning a conference for early Universe astronomers long before the launch of JWST.
• JWST successfully launched and deployed, allowing astronomers to study the early stages of the universe.
• JWST has detected many cyclones in young galaxies, which is puzzling and needs to be explained.
• Astronomers are studying young galaxies with tornado cores, which could lead to a revision of theories about stars, galaxies and black holes.
• JWST has also discovered many massive black holes, which could change established theories about stars and galaxies.
• JWST galactic spectra allow astronomers to determine the age of a galaxy and understand what is happening in it.
• JWST helped discover giant black holes in the cores of galaxies, which could help unravel the mystery of their formation.
