Re: "It is puzzling how such enormous black holes are found so early on in the universe ... because we believe that black holes take a long time to grow," said team member John Hutchings of the Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics.

Well, there are some holes... that are more recent!

Gadzooks & beer! I say... Would you look at the red shift on that one!

Sometime around the universe's one billionth birthday, the first stars and galaxies began to shine and ionized all of the hydrogen atoms in the universe (or removed an electron from each atom).

This journalist should learn a little science.

Most distant "black hole" 13 billion light years removed from Earth...for a minute there I thought you were speaking of the Reverend Al then I realized there was no "A" between "black" and "hole".

[Lancey Howard]

I bet the big bang really startled people back then.
Must have been pretty loud. Wonder what caused it?

[T.Smith]

So, how many Dark Years away is this Black Hole?
