James Webb Space Telescope, Supermassive Black Hole
Astronomers discover biggest ever seen black hole jets, which blast hot plasma well beyond their own host galaxy
Astronomers have spotted the biggest pair of black hole jets ever seen, spanning 23 million light-years in total length. That's equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way galaxies back to back.
Scientists Spot Giant Black Hole Destroying Galaxy
Strange Universe Like a parasite sucking the life force out of its host, an international group of scientists have determined that a supermassive black hole is starving a galaxy of essential materials to make new stars.
A black hole is literally "starving" a galaxy to death, new study reveals
"The [energy released from gas falling into the] the supermassive black hole is removing large amounts of gas very fast from the galaxy," D'Eugenio explained. "Without this gas, no new stars can be formed, so this galaxy is losing the `shine' of young and bright stars, and has already started it's long history of fading."
Astronomers detect black hole 'starving' its host galaxy to death
Astronomers have used the NASA/ESA James Webb Space Telescope to confirm that supermassive black holes can starve their host galaxies of the fuel they need to form new stars. The results are reported in the journal Nature Astronomy.
A Black Hole Is Starving Its Galaxy To Death, But Not How You Think
Two billion years old is far too young for a galaxy to die, barely a child by cosmological standards. Small galaxies may end their lives at that age after being eaten by larger ones, but a big galaxy with only a few billion years on the clock should be able to look forward to a productive life.

Black Hole’s Voracious Appetite Spells Doom for Its Host Galaxy
Galaxies usually become chaotic when they run out of star-making fuel, but this one is going out surprisingly quietly.
Supermassive Black Hole Spotted Starving Galaxy To Death
A distant galaxy has no more stars being born due to a supermassive black hole that's stripping away all the gas needed to forge them.
James Webb Space Telescope reveals how supermassive black holes starve galaxies of star formation
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have confirmed that supermassive black holes can prevent star formation in their host galaxies by expelling vital gas and dust. An international team led by Cambridge University discovered this phenomenon in a distant galaxy,
NASA's James Webb spots black hole 'starving' its host galaxy to death; see image
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have uncovered direct evidence showing that supermassive black holes can starve their host galaxies, depriving them of star-forming material.
