Webb telescope reveals shocking details of black hole feeding frenzy…
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured unprecedented images. It peers directly into the heart of the Circinus galaxy. Here's why the data is groundbreaking for understanding galaxy evolution.
These new Webb images offer a unique view. They show the active galactic nucleus (AGN) in stunning detail. This is where a supermassive black hole resides.
Astronomers observed a dusty torus. This is a doughnut-shaped structure of gas and dust. It surrounds the black hole's feeding zone. Webb's infrared capabilities cut through the dust.
The universe's secrets are being unveiled!
The telescope's Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) instrument is key. It provides data on gas composition and temperature. This helps scientists track matter falling into the black hole.
These observations are vital for astrophysics. They shed light on how black holes influence their host galaxies. What new cosmic mysteries will Webb uncover next?
