James Webb Found a Black Hole Heavier Than Its Galaxy

JWST found a black hole of 50 million solar masses inside a galaxy weighing under 20 million suns

The black hole is more than twice as heavy as all the stars around it — hence 'naked'

Its light left when the universe was just 700 million years old, only 5% of today's age

It hints the black hole formed before its galaxy, flipping the standard growth story

A galaxy cluster's gravity magnified the object sixfold, making the measurement possible
