I’m so hungry, I could eat two million Suns!

In this photo taken by NASAChandraXray and NASAWebb, a supermassive black hole at the center of a spiral galaxy is feasting on its surroundings. This black hole is about 60 million light-years from Earth and has a mass of two million Suns—and it’s only growing larger.

With supermassive black holes like this, scientists have wondered which comes first: the galaxy or the black hole? New data from Webb may help to explain how some black holes can grow so big without a larger galaxy to feed them. Check our link in bio for more details!
