Something was pumping enormous energy into a young galaxy cluster

SMRTR summary

Astronomers discovered a galaxy cluster that existed just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang with gas temperatures at least five times hotter than current theories predict for such an early cosmic period. The findings suggest that three supermassive black holes were already pumping enormous energy into the young cluster much earlier than expected, challenging established models of how galaxy clusters gradually heat up over time.
