X-ray spacecraft detects the 36-million-degree 'breath' of an ancient black hole

A team of astronomers has successfully detected the extreme heat emanating from the remnants of some of the universe’s first quasars. These observations utilized X-ray spacecraft to identify the “blisteringly hot exhaust fumes” produced during this period. Scientists believe these emissions originated from supermassive black holes actively consuming matter in the distant past. Specifically, the observed temperatures reached a staggering 36 million degrees Celsius – an incredibly high value. This discovery provides crucial insights into the early stages of galaxy formation and the behavior of colossal cosmic entities.
