Here is some more information on this incredible discovery:

This 11.7-billion-year-old supermassive black hole appears to have grown much faster than its host galaxy. Forming two billion years after the Big Bang, it is among the most massive black holes ever found, with a mass of about seven billion times that of the Sun.

Lead author on the study, Benny Trakhtenbrot from ETH Zurich’s Institute for Astronomy, said in a statement that it was a “gigantic black hole within a normal-size galaxy,” far exceeding the size expected for black holes in galaxies.

It does seem as if a lot of astrophysicists will have to revisit the drawing board after this one!
