Scientists may have found a way to spot supermassive black holes when they are forming by looking for a particular type of light they emit during their birth process.

The James Webb Space Telescope's NIRSpec instrument might be able to detect these signals with its multi-object spectroscopy mode and about 10,000 seconds of observation time.
