The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate ...

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 ...

Looking into the heart of galaxy M87 feels like staring into a cosmic engine. A black hole, unimaginably large and powerful, sits at its centre, spinning at furious speed. Now, new analysis of the ...

A second image of the supermassive black hole M87*, at the heart of the Messier 87 galaxy, has been captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). This image, taken on April 21, 2018, just one year ...

Messier 87 (M87) is a massive elliptical galaxy with a supermassive black hole and a luminous relativistic jet. Read about its history, observations, and astrophysical importance.

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.
