New data from the Chandra X-ray
Observatory and other telescopes has helped
NASA pinpoint the "coming of age" of
galaxies and black holes. This is a crucial
stage of the evolution of galaxies and black
holes -- known as "feedback" -- that
astronomers have long been trying to
understand. The discovery also helps resolve
the true nature of gigantic blobs of gas
observed around very young galaxies.
