Black Hole Caught Starving Ancient Galaxy to Death, Webb and ALMA Find

2026-01-14T12:00:04.000Z Astronomers have discovered that a young galaxy was gradually starved by its central supermassive black hole, in what was effectively a cosmic "death by a thousand cuts." The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) studied this unfortunate galaxy, known as GS-10578 or by the slightly snappier nickname "Pablo's Galaxy" in honor of the first astronomer to study it in detail.
