The European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope has identified 31 ancient quasars, featuring a pair of record-setting objects that emitted the luminosity of one trillion suns during the early history of the cosmos.

These distant celestial bodies date back to an era when the universe was only 670 million years old and are driven by supermassive black holes. Researchers indicate these findings offer fresh insight into the period when initial galactic structures were forming.

Additional information is expected to emerge as researchers continue to analyze data collected by the mission.
