JWST uncovers hidden black holes devouring stars in dusty galaxies

Astronomers at MIT, Columbia University, and elsewhere have used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to peer through the dust of nearby galaxies and into the aftermath of a black hole's stellar feast.

Scientists use James Webb Telescope to catch hidden black holes eating stars

Astronomers have used NASA’s powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to uncover black holes secretly devouring stars in galaxies full of dust. These violent star-shredding events, known as tidal disruption events (TDEs), had gone unnoticed before because thick dust clouds in their host galaxies hid the signs from traditional telescopes. In a new study published […] The post Scientists use James Webb Telescope to catch hidden black holes eatin…
