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.

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.

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, ...

M87*, which lies 55 million light-years away, is one of the largest black holes known. While Sgr A*, 27 000 light-years away, has a mass roughly four million times the Sun’s mass, M87* is more ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has now produced images of two supermassive black holes: the one in the center of a galaxy called M87 and the one at the center of our own galaxy, the Milky Way ...

Keep in mind, M87’s black hole is between about 3 and 7 billion times the mass of the Sun, or about 1,000 times more massive than the Milky Way’s black hole, Sagittarius A*. That’s a lot of ...

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) ...

In 1954, M87 was identified as the visual object corresponding to an intense point-like source of celestial radio noise found in 1947, named Virgo A. Later, in 1965 and 1967, ...
