In a major leap forward, scientists, using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), have captured the sharpest images yet of ...

M87 was also the first to reveal its luminous ... known formally as active galactic nuclei, or AGN for short. Activity means they are massive emitters of energy. They may become active when ...

Tilted accretion disc model Artist’s impression of the black hole at the centre of M87, showing how the accretion disc and jet are misaligned with the rotational axis of the black hole. (Courtesy: ...

The second image of the supermassive black hole in M87 was taken by the Event Horizon Telescope shows it still has a shadow just as Einstein predicted. The second image of the first black hole ...

The EHT collaboration played a crucial role in capturing the first authentic image of the black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87). Data collected over the past years continues to ...

The iconic image of a supermassive black hole in the Messier 87 (M87) galaxy—described by astronomers as a "fuzzy orange donut"—was a stunning testament to the capabilities of the Event ...

The proximity of M87 and the clear view of the SMBH is vital for studying black hole dynamics and evolution. Moreover, the galaxy has an AGN, making it interesting to study galactic evolution.

Astronomers today unveiled new images of the black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy, showing both a fluffier version of the black hole's glowing ring and its powerful jet together in the same ...

The M87 black hole appeared as a flaming, fuzzy doughnut-like object emerging from a dark backdrop – but now we have a sharper look. The new image, published Thursday in a Astrophysical ...

What they found was that the black hole at the center of galaxy M87, which is 6.5 billion times more massive than our sun, exhibits an oscillating jet that swings up and down every 11 years.

Beyond imaging the black holes at M87 and Sagittarius A*, the enhanced 870-micrometer capabilities also allow the EHT to observe other active galactic nuclei (AGN) jets with greater precision.
