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 ...

A machine learning algorithm has sharpened the first-ever image of a black hole, the supermassive monster at the heart of the galaxy Messier 87, to its maximum fidelity.

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 ...

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.

The discovery also suggests that, like Messier 87, Sagittarius A* could have a jet of radiation and high-speed particles shooting out of the black hole. We just can't see it yet.

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. More deals, ...

The sonification of the Messier 87 black hole incorporates X-ray, visual light and radio wave observations, converting them to audio waves that are surprisingly harmonious and ethereal. But the ...

In 2017, astronomers set out to observe the invisible heart of the massive galaxy Messier 87, or M87, near the Virgo galaxy cluster 55 million light-years from Earth.
