…stellar processes that can produce black holes with mass less than a few times the mass of the Sun. If black holes that small exist, they are most likely primordial black holes. Until 2016, the largest known stellar black hole was 15.65±1.45 solar masses. In September 2015, a rotating black hole of 62±4 solar masses was…
Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope in November 2025 confirmed an actively growing supermassive black hole within a "little red dot" galaxy named CANUCS-LRD-z8.6, just 570 million years after the Big Bang.
