How were extreme primordial quasars discovered?

Imagine you're looking for the brightest flashlight in a dark room, but it’s so far away that it looks like just a tiny dot in the sky. That's what happened when scientists found extreme primordial quasars.

These are super bright objects powered by black holes, which are like invisible vacuum cleaners in space, pulling in matter and light. When this matter spirals into the black hole, it gets super hot and shines really bright, that’s a quasar.

Now, these particular quasars were discovered because they're not just bright, they're extremely bright, and they existed when the universe was still very young.

Scientists used powerful tools called telescopes, which are like giant eyes that can see super far away. They looked at light coming from super-distant objects, and noticed some of them were incredibly bright, so bright, it felt like looking at a flashlight in the middle of a dark room, even though it was billions of light-years away!

This helped scientists learn more about how black holes and galaxies formed right after the Big Bang, kind of like discovering new toys that were made way back when everything started!
