Webb observations suggest accretion, not outflows, dominate near Circinus black hole

A team led by Dr. Enrique Lopez‑Rodriguez of the University of South Carolina used NASA’s Webb telescope to image the region around the supermassive black hole at the center of the Circinus galaxy, applying the Aperture‑Mask Interferometry technique to obtain high‑contrast, high‑resolution views of outflow

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

Hubble Captures Gas Plume Stripped from Spiral Galaxy in Virgo Cluster

A new Hubble Space Telescope image shows the spiral galaxy NGC 4388, located about 60 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo, and a resident of the Virgo galaxy cluster. Seen nearly edge-on from Earth, the galaxy reveals a previously unseen plume of gas streaming from its nucleus and billowing

Hubble Reveals Gas Plume Escaping Spiral Galaxy NGC 4388

A new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows the spiral galaxy NGC 4388 from nearly edge-on, revealing a plume of gas streaming from its nucleus. NGC 4388 lies about 60 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo and is a member of the nearby Virgo galaxy cluster, which contains
