Webb shows most hot dust in Circinus feeds its central black hole

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the sharpest image yet of the central region of the Circinus Galaxy, about 13 million light-years away, and found that most of the hot, infrared‑emitting dust is located near the galaxy’s supermassive black hole. The research was published Tuesday in
