There’s no place like our home galaxy…or its supermassive black hole. Sagittarius A* is at the core of the Milky Way (shown in X-ray & radio), surrounded by a disk of gas & dust. Webb may be able to detect that disk & tell us more about galaxy formation: http://go.nasa.gov/3aa8IGR pic.twitter.com/YKV3SqiEgk

Webb will also look to our neighbor galaxy Centaurus A, a warped disk that previously merged with another galaxy. Its active supermassive black hole shoots out jets & winds. Webb will be able to create 2-D maps to learn more about the black hole's impact: http://go.nasa.gov/2P7SHty pic.twitter.com/htjyfTQjpH
