Supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies can become so luminous that they outshine entire galaxies; when gas falls into these black holes, friction generates intense light that can overwhelm telescope cameras, creating distinctive diffraction spikes in images.

A Black Hole So Bright It Blinded JWST! ๐ณโจ #Shorts #SpaceFacts #JWSTAdded:
The James Webb Space Telescope [music] just photographed a super massive black hole that is so insanely bright it actually blinded [music] the camera.
This is the Squid Galaxy and at its center is a black hole eating so much gas that the friction [music] creates a blinding light causing those massive eight-pointed spikes across the image.
And those glowing orange bubbles inside the blue dust are [music] actually thousands of massive suns being born right now.
