Jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause gas to cool and fall toward that cosmic titan in a cosmic feeding process.

By pointing Hubble near the M87 jet, the researchers found that twice as many novas were erupting in star systems near the ...

A Hubble Space Telescope image of the giant galaxy M87 shows a 3,000-light-year-long ... home of several trillion stars and thousands of star-like globular star clusters.

On left, this composite simulated image shows how M87* is seen by the Event Horizon Telescope at 86 GHz (red), 230 GHz (green), and 345 GHz (blue). On right, 345 GHz is seen in dark blue ...

Intriguingly, astronomers found that nova eruptions are almost twice as likely to occur in double-star systems located in the vicinity of Messier 87's supermassive black hole plasma jets.

A new analysis of M87*, the first black hole imaged by humanity, has revealed turbulence in the matter around it, which this supermassive black hole feasts upon. Astronomers have witnessed a ...

The M87* black hole exhibits chaotic gas flow and plasma ring dynamics, offering new insights into black hole physics.

Observations from 2017 and 2018 by the Event Horizon Telescope have enhanced understanding of the supermassive black hole M87*, focusing on its turbulent accretion flow.

The latest achievement was the team’s second since April 2019, when it released the first image of a black hole from the Messier 87 galaxy, which is about 55 million light years from Earth.

(Nanowerk News) Using observations from 2017 and 2018, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has advanced our understanding of the supermassive black hole at the centre of Messier 87 (M87*).
