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 ...

Messier 87 (M87) is a massive elliptical galaxy with a supermassive black hole and a luminous relativistic jet. Read about its history, observations, and astrophysical importance.

Messier 87, or M87, is a big elliptical galaxy in the Virgo cluster, about 120,000 light-years wide. It’s famous for having a supermassive black hole, which was the first ever photographed in 2019.

In 2023, Messier 87, became the first black hole image sharpened with AI and the telescope also took stellar images of the “buff” whirlpool galaxy Messier 51.

For the first time, astronomers have observed, in the same image, the shadow of the black hole at the centre of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87) and the powerful jet ...

That produced the first image of a black hole – when in 2019 it produced a picture of the one at the heart of the Messier 87 galaxy – and followed it in 2022 with an image of the one at the ...

One of the biggest surprises from the new study is how similar the new images look to the magnetic field of Messier 87* (M87*) — a black hole that's around 1,000 times larger than Sgr A* and ...

At the center of Messier 87, a giant galaxy 55 million light-years from Earth, is a darkness 24 billion miles across and as massive as 6.5 billion suns — a trapdoor to infinity called a black hole.

M87 is at the heart of the giant elliptical galaxy Messier 87 and lives 55 million light years away from Earth. UCL’s Dr Ziri Younsi, a member of the EHT collaboration, said: “It is very ...

Astronomers have revealed a new image of the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Messier 87 galaxy. The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration released new images of the M87 black ...
