The early universe supercharged black hole growth

One of astronomy's longest standing puzzles has been understanding how black holes grew so large in such a short span of cosmic time. Scientists have long known that supermassive black holes existed surprisingly early in the universe, but how they reached those enormous sizes remained unclear. Now, researchers at Ireland's Maynooth University (MU) report a breakthrough explanation in a new study published in Nature Astronomy.
