A new study has connected the famous m87 black hole, the first ever imaged, to its powerful cosmic jet, revealing how it launches particles at near light speed.

"It is amazing to see that we are gradually moving towards combining these breakthrough observations across multiple ...

Astronomers have traced the origin point of a jet of material that is thousands of light-years long emanating from the supermassive black hole M87* ...

Some galaxies eject powerful streams of charged particles—jets—from their centers into space. The prominent jet of Messier 87 (M87) in the constellation Virgo is visible over distances of 3,000 ...

Astronomers have identified the origin of the enormous plasma jet emerging from the supermassive black hole at the heart of ...

Using Event Horizon Telescope observations of M87's black hole from 2017, 2018 and 2021, "astronomers have found some changes ...

M87 lies at the center of the galaxy Messier 87, about 55 million light-years from Earth. The black hole, with a mass ...

Last year, a telescope captured the very first image of an "unseeable" black hole, dazzling the scientific community and space enthusiasts alike with a static picture of M87*, the supermassive object ...

We now have direct images of two supermassive black holes: M87* and Sag A*. The fact that we can capture such images is ...

Seen from Earth, the giant elliptical galaxy M87 is just a two-dimensional blob, though one that appears perfectly symmetrical and thus a favored target of amateur astronomers. Yet, a new, highly ...

Location, location, location. Most regions of our vast trackless universe look like most others, but some places stand out with a vengeance. One unique galaxy occupies just such a privileged position.

The image also reveals many other galaxies forming the Virgo Cluster, of which M87 is the largest member. In particular, the two galaxies at the top right of the frame are nicknamed “the Eyes.” New ...
