'It shouldn't survive': Astronomers discover dust on an epic journey far beyond its galaxy

New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal that a supermassive black hole in an ancient galaxy likely starved the galaxy of gas necessary for star formation, leading to its demise described as 'a death of 1,000 cuts'. This finding enhances understanding of the early universe's dynamics.

Astronomers have observed that the early universe may not contain as many small galaxies as previously predicted, raising questions about the formation and evolution of the cosmos. This discrepancy suggests that the models used to understand galaxy formation may need to be reevaluated.

Astronomers have observed two supermassive black holes engaged in a complex interaction, showcasing unprecedented jet behavior, as captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. This observation provides new insights into the dynamics of black holes and their jets, which are critical for understanding their role in the universe.

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery involving a mysterious shockwave surrounding a dead star, which has produced a spectacular nebula. This unexpected phenomenon challenges previous assumptions about discless systems in space, leading to a rare moment of astonishment within the scientific community.
