The Euclid space telescope has discovered 31 ancient quasars, including the earliest known, raising new questions about black hole growth after the Big Bang.
A quasar emits exceptional amounts of energy generated by matter falling into a supermassive black hole, as seen in this illustration released on July 6, 2026.
