Kind: research · Impact: medium

## In brief

- ESA's Euclid space telescope has discovered 31 ancient quasars.
- Two of the objects are record-breaking, shining with the brightness of a trillion Suns.
- The quasars date from when the Universe was about 670 million years old and are powered by supermassive black holes.

## Why it matters

The finding adds to the sample of very distant, luminous quasars, which helps astronomers study how supermassive black holes formed and grew in the early Universe.
