Webb Space Telescope's Special Aperture Turns One Sensor Into Seven

Webb telescope zooms in on a black hole's messy feeding zone

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope discovers that most of the hot matter at a galaxy's central black hole is falling in, not blasting out.

Webb Space Telescope's Special Aperture Turns One Sensor Into Seven

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope used its sophisticated aperture mechanism to capture unprecedented images of the heart of the Circinus Galaxy, providing astronomers with data unlike anything previously obtained and completely upending the understanding of super-bright infrared regions surrounding supermassive black holes.

Webb Telescope Exposes Hidden Secrets of the Circinus Galaxy’s Black Hole

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed an unprecedented view into the heart of the Circinus galaxy, located about 13 million light-years away. The findings, published in Nature, overturn long-standing theories about how material behaves near a supermassive black hole, suggesting that much of the glowing, dusty matter is being drawn inward rather than blasted outward into space.

New image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope gives insight into far away galaxy's black hole

A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope by NASA gives a glimpse into a black hole within the Circinus Galaxy.The Circinus Galaxy is 13 million light-years from Earth.NASA said it's long been thought that a large source of infrared light closest to the supermassive active black hole were streams of super-heated matter that fire outward called outflows.Now, the new image from the James Webb Space Telescope, combined with a new image from N…

Looking into The Heart of The Circinus Galaxy | James Webb Space TelescopeThis image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope shows the Circinus galaxy. A close-up of its core from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows the inner face of the hole of the donut-shaped disk of gas disk glowing in infrared light. The outer ring appears as dark spots.This artist’s concept depicts the central engine of the Circinus galaxy.At the center is the supermassive …
