The "deaths" of galaxies are caused by their central supermassive black holes, and the "smoking gun" evidence of this connection takes an unexpected form.

Current models of how the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, known as Sagittarius A*, consumes its gas rely on assumptions about the exact distribution of accretion flows, and none of them ...
