The Tiny Dots in This Image Aren't Stars or Galaxies. They're Black Holes

The image above may look like a fairly normal picture of the night sky, but what you're looking at is a lot more special than just glittering stars. Each of those white dots is an active supermassive black hole.

And each of those black holes is devouring material at the heart of a galaxy millions of light-years away – that's how they could be pinpointed at all.

Really great number of BHs, that's insane. Imagine that somewhere in parallel universe people are looking at an image with plenty of white holes 😀
How wonderful it would be to have such a telescope to capture a BH..

Do you know if JSWT is capable of capturing BH? I know that it's not its main goal, though if it could we would discover much more than we expect.

The JWST will observe the universe in infra red.
