Author: Akashni Raghubar-Latchanna

A James Webb Space Telescope image of a dense galaxy cluster filled with hundreds of galaxies of varying shapes, sizes, and colors against a black background. Three small white squares labeled A, B, and C mark gravitationally lensed images of a background quasar near the cluster center. At right, three zoomed-in inset panels labeled QSO1A, QSO1B, and QSO1C show each lensed quasar image as a small red point source.

Did this black hole grow up before its galaxy?

A 360-degree panoramic view of the Milky Way galaxy stretching horizontally across the frame as a bright, glowing band of stars and dust. The galactic center is visible near the middle, dense with warm orange and brown dust lanes and bright star clusters. The surrounding sky is deep black, dotted with individual stars and a few faint nebulae and satellite galaxies visible in the lower portion of the image.
