JWST Reveals Black Hole Slowly Starving Pablo’s Galaxy
Introduction: A cosmic slow burn In a striking parallel to a gripping crime saga, astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered how a young galaxy—nicknamed Pablo’s Galaxy in recent studies—was slowly starved of new stars. The central supermassive black hole grew voracious, siphoning gas and suppressing stellar birth in a process that…

Death by a Thousand Cuts: JWST Quenches Pablo’s Galaxy
Unveiling a Quiet Apocalypse In a cosmic drama playing out over billions of years, a young galaxy known as Pablo’s Galaxy faces a slow, inexorable decline. Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have traced a quiet, methodical shutdown: a supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s center…

Death by a thousand cuts: How JWST Revealed a Black Hole Starving Pablo’s Galaxy
Unveiling a Quiet Cosmic Death In a dramatic display of cosmic physics, astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to watch a young galaxy gradually lose its ability to form stars. At the heart of this quiet catastrophe lies a supermassive black hole whose influence spreads…

Ancient Dead Galaxy: How a Supermassive Black Hole Starved the Early Universe
Ancient Dead Galaxy Reveals a Cosmic Power Unlike Any Other In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified one of the earliest known dead galaxies. The object, located in the young universe, appears to have halted star formation long before many of its peers, providing critical clues about how…

Ancient Dead Galaxy Revealed: Starvation Fuelled by a Supermassive Black Hole
Introduction: A Glimpse into the Early Universe’s Quiet Giants In a breakthrough study, researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified what may be among the earliest known “dead” galaxies. These ancient systems, which stopped forming stars very early in cosmic history, offer crucial clues about how massive galaxies halt their growth. The…

How Telescopes Are Searching for Signs of Life Beyond Earth
Introduction: A Quest Written in the Stars For centuries, humanity has wondered whether we are alone. In the past few decades, telescopes have evolved from distant curiosity-raisers into powerful life-detection instruments. By studying distant worlds and listening for signals, astronomers are piecing together where life might exist beyond Earth—and what forms it could take. How…

Oddball Platypus Galaxies: JWST Spots Nine Cosmic Anomalies Challenging Galaxy Formation
Introduction: A New Class of Cosmic Oddities In archival data from the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers have identified nine enigmatic objects that scientists are calling “platypus galaxies.” Named for their odd hybrid features, these bodies do not fit neatly into existing categories of dwarf galaxies, starburst systems, or quiescent early-time relics. The discovery, described…

Oddball ‘platypus galaxies’ spotted by James Webb telescope may challenge our understanding of galaxy formation
Unusual discoveries in JWST data In archival data from the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers have identified a small batch of nine peculiar objects that defy easy classification. Dubbed the “platypus galaxies” by scientists, these cosmic oddities challenge the conventional categories used to describe galaxies. Their unusual blend of features suggests there may be gaps…

Platypus Galaxies: JWST Finds Nine Mysterious Cosmic Oddities
Unveiling a Curious Class of Galaxies The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has illuminated a new, puzzling class of cosmic objects nicknamed the “platypus galaxies.” Discovered by sifting through archived JWST data, these nine objects present a blend of traits that resist easy classification. They are small in size, yet their structure, composition, and star-formation…
