James Webb Space Telescope confirms supermassive black holes deplete host galaxies of star-forming materials.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed that supermassive black holes can deplete their host galaxies of star-forming materials. Observations of a galaxy from two billion years after the Big Bang revealed it is expelling gas at speeds sufficient to escape its gravity, effectively halting star formation. This study provides direct evidence of black holes' significant role in galaxy evolution, challenging previous assumptions about their effects.
