#Euclid scientists identified 31 new early Universe quasars, including the two most distant quasars currently known. The new record holder's redshift z=7.77 places it only 670 million years after the Big Bang. https://www.euclid-ec.org/most-distant-quasars/ #ESA #ESAEuclid #astronomy #blackholes #science

With this first collection, #Euclid starts dominating the search for early Universe #quasars. This is no wonder: Euclid's wide survey provides unprecedented sensitivity at wavelengths into the near-infrared, which are key to identifying these rare accreting early black holes. Forecasts predict that in Euclid data even earlier quasars should be found: likely beyond z=8 (650 million years after the Big Bang) and possibly even z=9 (550 million years). #astronomy #ESAEuclid #ESA #blackholes
