Extremely Rare Black Hole Type Caught Snacking On A Star 450 Million Light-Years AwayA Hubble Space Telescope image of a pair of galaxies: NGC 6099 (lower left) and NGC 6098 (upper right). The purple blob depicts X-ray emission from a compact star cluster hiding an intermediate-mass black hole tearing apart a star.

Oldest Black Hole Discovered Dating To Just 470 Million Years After Big Banga thin box outlines the distant galaxy, and two enlargements are inset at our upper left. In the enlargement showing Chandra data, a hazy, neon purple oval with a light pink core is shown. This purple oval represents intense X-rays from a growing supermassive black hole estimated to weigh between 10 and 100 million suns. The purple oval is not visible in the composite image because of the way the Chandra data was processed. The box is located in an image showing many galaxy from JWST surrnounded by a purple halo, the detection of hot gas in the cluster by Chandra.
