Summary:
- Astronomers from the Kavli Institute for Cosmology at the University of Cambridge in the UK have detected a black hole that is "starving" its host galaxy.
- The black hole is consuming very little material, which is unusual as black holes are typically observed to be actively accreting matter and emitting large amounts of radiation.
- This discovery provides insights into the relationship between black holes and their host galaxies, and how the growth and activity of black holes can impact the evolution of their surrounding environments.
