How Giant Stars May Create the Supermassive Black Holes at the Centres of Galaxies

Astronomers are rethinking how supermassive black holes formed so quickly after the Big Bang. New evidence suggests that either giant stars or direct gas-cloud collapse produced larger initial black holes. These larger seeds grew faster, solving a cosmic timing puzzle. Telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope are providing crucial data; this research reshapes our understanding of the early universe\'s colossal objects.
