Discovered in 1992, it was one of the first objects to be confirmed as a black hole. Since then, it has been extensively studied, appearing in over 1,300 scientific papers.

Peculiar James Webb Space Telescope observations seem to show gargantuan black holes in the earliest moments of the universe. New research may explain how they formed, thanks to primordial "seeds".

Stellar-mass black holes typically form after a star goes supernova and collapses. However, the discovery of the first-ever triple black hole system, V404 Cygni, complicates that picture.
