Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster black hole and M87's jet have been turned into sound by ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

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

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 ...

M87 black hole rotates at 80% max speed, nears cosmic speed threshold, feeds at 23% light speed The black hole weighs about 6.5 billion solar masses. Scientists now believe it spins at around 80% ...

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.

M87 was the first black hole to be imaged, and now it's revealing details of how some elementary particles are accelerated by the universe's most extreme environments.

Unusual activity near M87's plasma jet At the heart of the elliptical galaxy M87, a supermassive black hole powers a plasma jet that shoots through space at nearly the speed of light.

Polarized light from Sagittarius A*, our galaxy’s supermassive black hole, shows swirling magnetic fields that may hint at the presence of an unseen jet ...
