A flare-up in a jet of matter blasting from a monster black hole is giving astronomers an incredible light show. The outburst is coming from a blob of matter, called HST-1, embedded in the jet, a ...
Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster's black hole and M87's jet have been turned into sound ...
A team of researchers using the Global Millimeter VLBI Array, a network of radio telescopes around the world, has produced a new image of the black hole at the center of galaxy Messier 87. The new ...
FRANKFURT. The galaxy Messier 87 (M87) is located 55 million light years away from Earth in the Virgo constellation. It is a giant galaxy with 12,000 globular clusters, making the Milky Way’s 200 ...
Light curve of the gamma-ray flare (bottom) and collection of quasi-simulated images of the M87 jet (top) at various scales obtained in radio and X-ray during the 2018 campaign. The instrument, the ...
Astronomers have assembled, from more than 13 years of observations from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, a series of time-lapse movies showing a jet of superheated gas — 5,000 light-years long — as it ...
An extraordinary galactic jet ejected from a supermassive black hole boasts a corkscrew-like helical structure, new ground-based telescope views reveal. The black hole lies at the center of an ...
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 light, ...
An enormous jet of particles emitted by the giant galaxy M87 can be observed astronomically in various wavelengths. Scientists have developed a theoretical model of the morphology of this jet using ...
