The monster black hole lurking at the center of galaxy M87 is an absolute beast. It is one of the largest in our vicinity and was the ideal first target for the Event Horizon Telescope. Scientists ...

M87 is a laboratory for extreme physics, not just a scientific curiosity puddle. Originally seen in 2019, its shadow fit Einstein’s general relativity’s predictions exactly.

The black hole in Messier 87, or M87, became famous in April 2019 when the Event Horizon Telescope released the first direct image of a black hole in this galaxy Chandra has observed M87 for many ...

In the case of M87*, PRIMO analyzed over 30,000 simulated images of black holes accreting gas, taking into account many different models for how this accretion of matter occurs.

The black hole at M87’s galactic center is 6.5 billion times more massive than the sun. A large galaxy usually contains a supermassive black hole at its center, where ...

Like viewing in FM vs. AM: New black hole image reveals “fluffier” ring New GMVA data complements the 2017 M87 image captured by Event Horizon Telescope.

The first image of M87* — and humanity's first image of any black hole, for that matter — was taken by the EHT in 2017 and released to the public in 2019.

When the image of the M87 supermassive black hole (M87*), which is 55 million light-years from Earth and has a mass equivalent to six and a half billion suns, was first revealed, ...

Although it's farther away, the black hole known as M87* is much larger than Sagittarius A*. Space This is the first image of the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way.

An image of the shadow of the supermassive black hole M87 (inset) and a powerful jet of matter and energy being projected away from it. R.-S. Lu (SHAO) and E. Ros (MPIfR), S.Dagnello (NRAO/AUI/NSF) ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

M87 turns out to be triaxial, like a potato. The revised view provides a more precise measure of the mass of the central black hole: 5.37 billion solar masses. Skip to main content.
