Astronomers discover a ‘starving’ supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy

This image from the MUSE instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope shows the active galaxy Markarian 1018, which has a supermassive black hole at its core. The faint loops of light around the galaxy are a result of its interaction and merger with another galaxy in the recent past.
What happens when a black hole falls on hard times? Astronomers have found a black hole that's rapidly getting dimmer, and they think it's starving.
