James Webb Space Telescope Discovers How Black Holes Feed Themselves Through Self-Regulating Cycle

Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has provided new insights into how supermassive black holes feed themselves, observing a self-regulating cycle where gas is expelled and then cools to form filaments that fall back, restarting the feeding process. This discovery helps explain their rapid growth in the early universe and was observed in the galaxy NGC 4696.
