NASA's Fermi Finds the Farthest Blazars

Blazars are among the universe's most luminous objects, powered by supermassive black holes. They emit high-energy light, observed by NASA's Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope. Recent discoveries include five distant gamma ray blazars, with black holes billions of times the mass of our Sun. These findings suggest that massive black holes formed early in cosmic history, though the exact process remains unclear. Researchers aim to find more blazars to understand the evolution of powerful cosmic jets and rapid black hole development in the early universe.
