Examining images taken by James Webb, scientists discovered at least 3 galaxies orbiting a high-mass structure. This discovery could point to a supermassive black hole.
The James Webb Space Telescope, which started its activities in the summer of 2022, shook the world in July with its first observations. While the telescope has been a tool for many observations and new discoveries, today A new one has been added to these discoveries.
Scientists have named the ‘”, which is among the first 13 targets imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope.SDSS J165202.64+172852.3He had a chance to observe the red quasar named ”. The image, taken by Webb and then processed with filters, revealed important details about the quasar.

The image you see above is merging around a rare quasar inside a “monster” black hole. cluster of galaxies is showing. The quasar in question was already among the candidates considered by astronomers to have a supermassive black hole.
The colors we see in the cluster of galaxies actually tell us different things. Greenwhile showing that galaxies are not in motion (from our point of view) red sections Galaxies moving away from Earth at 700 kilometers per second, blue sections represents galaxies approaching the Earth at a speed of 350 kilometers.
The image above, which is the clearest photograph ever taken from this region, revealed another important information. Scientists are now in this region at least three galaxies He saw something spinning around him at very high speed. But what makes the galaxies spin around is still a mystery. Of course, if the theory is correct, it could be a supermassive black hole.
