What the Cosmic Dawn Reveals About the Young Universe
About this episode
The Euclid space telescope has discovered 31 ancient quasars, including the two most distant ever detected, dating to when the universe was just 670 million years old.
Their unexpectedly massive supermassive black holes challenge current theories of cosmic evolution. In this episode, we explore how these brilliant objects reveal the cosmic dawn, what they tell us about the epoch of reionization, and how the James Webb Space Telescope could uncover the secrets behind their astonishingly rapid growth.
