NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that most of the light around the Circinus galaxy's central black hole is coming from hot dust feeding it rather than the material getting blasted out.

Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have mapped where dust collects around a nearby supermassive black hole — and found that almost all of it sits in a compact ring feeding the object.
