The team uncovered a possible quasar in the data and, in 2019, observed it with telescopes including the Gemini North telescope and the W. M. Keck Observatory, both on Maunakea. The Magellan

telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile confirmed the existence of Pōniuāʻena. Feige Wang, a NASA Hubble Fellow at Steward Observatory, said: "Observations with Gemini were

critical for obtaining the high-quality near-infrared spectra that provided us with the measurement of the black hole's astounding mass. The discovery of a quasar from the dawn of the

cosmos provides researchers with a rare glimpse into a time when the universe was still young and far different from today. Current theory suggests atoms after the Big Bang were too distant

from one another to interact and form stars and galaxies. The birth of stars and galaxies as we know them happened during the Epoch of Reionisation, about 400 million years after the Big

Bang.
