Nasa telescope uncovers surprising jets heating dust around black hole

Astronomers, using the James Webb Space Telescope, revealed that the heating of dust and gas around a distant supermassive black hole in ESO 428-G14 originated from high-speed gas jets rather than the black hole itself. This discovery challenges previous theories and could provide new insights into how supermassive black holes influence their galaxies and recycle material in AGNs.
