Circinus Galaxy, located about 13 million light‑years away, hosts an active supermassive black hole that continues to shape its evolution. Scientists once believed that the strongest source of infrared light near the black hole came from outflows—streams of superheated matter blasting outward. New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope challenge that view, revealing that most of the hot, dusty material is actually flowing inward and feeding the central black hole ~ @nasa

✨🔭 Webb delivers an unprecedented view into the heart of the Circinus Galaxy 🌌 🌪️🕳️ Using its powerful infrared vision, the James Webb Space Telescope has pierced dense cosmic dust to reveal how hot gas and dust are funneling inward to feed the supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s core, overturning earlier assumptions about strong outflows.

Webb peers deeper than ever into the heart of the Circinus Galaxy
