This Week in Astronomy: Earliest Known Black Hole Found, Clumpy Galaxy in Early Universe and Stars Born Tilted

In this week we'll be covering:

Astronomers discovered the most distant confirmed black hole, dating back 13.3 billion years. It lies in a tiny, bright galaxy called CAPERS-LRD-z9, and challenges current theories by being unexpectedly massive for such an early time. 2. Cosmic Grapes Galaxy:

A galaxy from 900 million years after the Big Bang was found to have at least 15 clumps of stars forming simultaneously, defying models of early galaxy formation and suggesting clumpy structures may have been common. 3. Tilted Sun-Like Stars:

A study shows that about one-third of young Sun-like stars are born with their spin axes tilted relative to their planet-forming disks, meaning some planetary system misalignments happen from birth, not later.
