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 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 ...

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 ...

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.

The redefinition of this image of the supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87) could help better understand its characteristics and could be extended to the black hole ...

Seen from Earth, the giant elliptical galaxy M87 is just a two-dimensional blob, though one that appears perfectly symmetrical and thus a favored target of amateur astronomers. Yet, a new ...
