What makes the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) so special? In this video, we explore how the EHT managed to capture the first-ever image of a black hole, located at the center of the M87 galaxy, 55 ...

The first moving images of a black hole could reveal swirls of plasma and collapsing stars, deepening our understanding of ...

That’s what’s happening in the center of M87, a giant elliptical galaxy about 50 million light-years from Earth that has a spike of light shooting from its core. The galaxy harbors a black ...

The M87 galaxy is monstrous. It contains several trillions of stars, compared to our Milky Way's hundreds of billions. And the supermassive black hole at its center is shooting an outstretched ...

A study of the galaxy M87 showed that nova explosions appear to be occurring at an unusual high frequency in the neighborhood of one of the jets from the galaxy's central black hole. But there's ...

This is an artist's concept looking down into the core of the giant elliptical galaxy M87. A supermassive black hole ejects a 3,000-light-year-long jet of plasma, traveling at nearly the speed of ...

The 3,000-light-year-long trail of flaming plasma is beaming out from a supermassive black hole with a mass 6.5 billion times that of the sun in the center of the galaxy M87. Getting caught in ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a massive plasma jet erupting from the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy M87. This “blow-torch”-like jet, traveling near the speed of ...

Jet Set Black holes are some of the most destructive objects in the universe — but it's not just their terrifying gravity you ...

Plotting the location of Hubble Space Telescope observations of novae – exploding stars – in the giant elliptical galaxy M87. The galaxy’s most notable feature is a 3,000-light-year-long jet ...

Hubble found 94 novae in the one-third of M87 that its camera can encompass. "The jet was not the only thing that we were looking at -- we were looking at the entire inner galaxy. Once you plotted ...
