Ancient quasars discovered in isolated parts of the universe raise questions about their rapid growth and impact on galaxies

Ancient quasars discovered in isolated parts ...

Quasars are supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies, and their light and quasar winds affect the growth of stars. Recent discoveries by the James Webb Telescope show that some quasars formed in very isolated parts of the early universe, leading to questions about their rapid growth without available fuel.
