Webb telescope maps the gas pipeline feeding a supermassive black hole 145 million light-years out
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured unprecedented images detailing the entire journey of gas feeding a supermassive black hole in the galaxy NGC 4696, located 145 million light-years away. The observations reveal a rotating disk of gas, approximately 800 light-years in diameter, directly linked to a filament of colder gas, illustrating the complete pathway matter takes before being consumed by the black hole.
