For generations, astronomers wondered whether the galaxy or the black hole came first — a question that seemed destined to remain unanswered. In June 2026, the James Webb Space Telescope resolved this ancient cosmic riddle by observing a fully formed supermassive black hole at the edge of the observable universe, its host galaxy still assembling around it. The discovery does not merely settle a debate; it invites humanity to reimagine the architecture of creation itself, and the forces that shaped the earliest moments of existence.
