Super big black hole provides 'baby picture' of early universe

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida - Astronomers have discovered a supersize black hole hearkening back to almost the dawn of creation.

It's the farthest black hole ever found.

A team led by the Carnegie Observatories' Eduardo Banados reported in the journal Nature on Wednesday that the black hole lies in a quasar dating to 690 million years of the Big Bang. That means the light from this quasar has been traveling our way for more than 13 billion years.
