  An ultraluminous quasar with a twelve-billion-solar-mass black hole at redshift 6.30

  and we can see it in SDSS.

  I would have said that it was a red star, except maybe stars are fuzzier? nothing on NED yet.

  The optical spectra of J0100+2802, the UV light of a quasar has been redshifted almost off the graph.

  Astronomers Discover Record-Breaking Quasar SDSS J0100+2802 hosts a monstrous black hole about 12 billion times the mass of our Sun, proving it to be the most luminous quasar with the most massive black hole among all the known high redshift quasars. http://www.sci-news.com/astronomy/science-sdss-j01002802-record-breaking-quasar-02539.html

  This possible renegade black hole, which contains about 160 million
  times the mass of our Sun, is located in an elliptical galaxy about
  3.9 billion light years from Earth. Astronomers are interested in these moving supermassive black holes because they may reveal more
  about the properties of these enigmatic objects. This black hole may
  have "recoiled," in the terminology used by scientists, when two
  smaller supermassive black holes collided and merged to form an even
  larger on.......

  Another possible explanation for the data is that two supermassive
  black holes are located in the center of the galaxy but one of them is
  not producing detectable radiation because it is growing too slowly.
  The researchers favor the recoiling black hole explanation, but more
  data are needed to strengthen their case.
