'Death by a thousand cuts': James Webb Space Telescope figures out how black hole murdered Pablo's Galaxy
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a young galaxy that "lived fast and died young" as it was gradually starved by its central supermassive black hole
Astronomers have discovered one of the oldest dead galaxies ever discovered, and it turns out it wasn't the victim of a cosmic catastrophe, but a slow, creeping process. A supermassive black hole was gradually cutting off the fuel supply. Astronomers from Cambridge and other locations used the James Webb Space Telescope and the ALMA radio telescope to study this unusual galaxy. […] Want to know more about science?

The space telescope James Webb unexpectedly finds many "dead" galaxies in the early universe in which no stars arise. Now a culprit was found.
‘Death by a thousand cuts’: Young galaxy ran out of fuel as black hole choked off supplies
Astronomers have spotted one of the oldest ‘dead’ galaxies yet identified, and found that a growing supermassive black hole can slowly starve a galaxy rather than tear it apart. The researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, used data from the James Webb Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), to study a galaxy in the early universe – about three billion years after the Big Bang. The galaxy, called GS-10578 but nickn…
