James Webb has just changed what we know about black holes ЁЯММ
James WebbтАЩs sharpest infrared view reveals glowing dust feeding a supermassive black hole in the Circinus Galaxy.
Its sharpest-ever infrared image reveals that glowing dustтАФnot violent outflowsтАФpowers the mysterious light around a supermassive black hole in the Circinus Galaxy. This discovery could reshape how scientists study galaxy evolution across the universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope is transforming our understanding of the universe, and its latest observations of a supermassive black hole are among its most revealing achievements yet. By peering deep into the heart of the nearby Circinus Galaxy, Webb has uncovered where mysterious infrared light around black holes truly originates. These findings challenge long-standing assumptions and open new paths for studying how black holes grow and influence their host galaxies.
