Strange, 'starved' galaxy died 'a death of 1,000 cuts' in the ancient universe, JWST reveals

An image of galaxy GS-10578, or "Pablo's Galaxy".

New observations of a strange galaxy show it was slowly starved to death by its own black hole.

Two telescopes peered deep into space at the galaxy GS-10578, nicknamed "Pablo's Galaxy," after the name of the astronomer who previously studied it. The galaxy is large for its age: roughly 200 billion times the mass of the sun, with most of its stars lighting up between 11.5 billion years and 12.5 billion years ago. (For reference, the universe is roughly 13.8 billion years old.)
