James Webb Space Telescope finds black holes that waited patiently before devouring stars in dusty galaxies
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers hunted supermassive black holes devouring stars in dusty galaxies — but laying in wait for their stellar victims.
Supermassive black holes are cosmic ogres, of which we do not yet understand very well how they are born and growing. To see more clearly about them, we can study how they destroy stars and this is what we begin to do with the telescope...
JWST Discovers Dormant Black Holes Devouring Stars in Hidden Galaxies
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made its mark by capturing its first-ever observations of tidal disruption events (TDEs) — powerful cosmic events where supermassive black holes tear apart passing stars. The Discovery Of Dormant Giants Since the 1990s, astronomers have documented TDEs, primarily in galaxies with little gas and dust. These events occur when a star’s orbit brings it too near a supermassive black hole, whose immense gravit…
