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 ...

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 ...

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 quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of ...

This new, sharper image of the M87 supermassive black hole was generated by the PRIMO algorithm using 2017 EHT data. Credit: Medeiros et al. 2023 ...

The iconic image of the supermassive black hole at the center of M87 has gotten its first official makeover based on a new machine learning technique called PRIMO. The team used the data achieved ...

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding ...

In 2019, the international Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration published the first image of a black hole, of M87* from the center of the galaxy M87. The measurement data on which the image ...

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

The EHT needed that impressive resolution to capture its first target, the black hole sitting in the center of the galaxy M87, almost 54 million light-years away, in April 2017.

The image of M87* and the similar image published three years later of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, were both generated using light with a wavelength ...
