This black hole, like many others,appeared during the cosmic dawn stage, a period that began approximately 100 million years after the Big Bang. How black holes formed so suddenly in the early Universe remains a mystery. Astronomers are still hunting for even younger, supposed "primordial" black holes that arose very soon after—or, according to some theories, even before—the Big Bang. But for now they remain elusive.
There are two main theories:that they are the remnants of giant stars that formed much faster than those scientists know about today, or that billowing clouds of incredibly dense gas suddenly collapsed, forming rifts in spacetime.
The researchers who discovered the last blackhole, published their findings on March 15 on the preprint server arXiv, but the study has not yet been peer-reviewed. They believe the new black hole is the oldest to date, but they will soon find more similar objects.
