The first black hole ever photographed is no longer just a static ring of darkness. Astronomers have now traced a colossal ...

The image of M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of massive elliptical galaxy M87, changed the world. It was the ...

Astronomers using the Event Horizon Telescope -- a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes -- have identified the likely starting point of a massive cosmic jet in the heart of ...

A 3,000-light-year-long jet of plasma (superheated gas) shooting out from galaxy M87's supermassive black hole. The M87 galaxy is monstrous. NASA calls this jet "blowtorch-like," and it seems to be ...

The Hubble telescope shows stars exploding near a giant plasma beam shooting out from a black hole. The beam, named M87 jet, is 3,000 light years long and is moving through space at almost the speed ...

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 ...
