At the core of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87), a cosmic behemoth is challenging preconceptions. Renowned for being the first black hole ever directly photographed, the supermassive black hole M87 has ...

Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster's black hole and M87's jet have been turned into sound ...

In the case of M87*, PRIMO analyzed over 30,000 simulated images of black holes accreting gas, taking into account many different models for how this accretion of matter occurs.

The black hole at M87’s galactic center is 6.5 billion times more massive than the sun. A large galaxy usually contains a supermassive black hole at its center, where ...

When the image of the M87 supermassive black hole (M87*), which is 55 million light-years from Earth and has a mass equivalent to six and a half billion suns, was first revealed, ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

Like viewing in FM vs. AM: New black hole image reveals “fluffier” ring New GMVA data complements the 2017 M87 image captured by Event Horizon Telescope.

M87 turns out to be triaxial, like a potato. The revised view provides a more precise measure of the mass of the central black hole: 5.37 billion solar masses. Skip to main content.

An image of the shadow of the supermassive black hole M87 (inset) and a powerful jet of matter and energy being projected away from it. R.-S. Lu (SHAO) and E. Ros (MPIfR), S.Dagnello (NRAO/AUI/NSF) ...

Although it's farther away, the black hole known as M87* is much larger than Sagittarius A*. Space This is the first image of the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way.

The image of M87* and the similar image published three years later of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, were both generated using light with a wavelength ...

M87 In 1781, astronomer Charles Messier discovered a bright spot in the constellation Virgo now known as Messier 87, or M87, a galaxy 55 million light-years away that contains several trillion stars.
