James Webb Reveals How Supermassive Black Holes Sculpt the Universe’s Largest Galaxies

The James Webb Space Telescope has observed a group of massive galaxies, located about 11 billion light-years away, that have halted their growth due to the influence of supermassive black holes. Galaxy clusters, often referred to as the “big cities” of the universe, are populated by giant elliptical galaxies that…

Napping after overfeeding on food is a dilemma many of us will be fortunate to face on Christmas Day. New research has shown that, billions of years ago, some early black holes also had to nap after overindulging. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers spotted a dormant supermassive…
