The composite image of NGC 1275, or Perseus A, reveals its dynamic structure by blending optical, radio, and X-ray data. Cygnus X-1, about 10,000 light-years away, is a powerful black hole pulling ...

Metsähovi Radio Telescope, located in the forests outside Greater Helsinki in Finland, is one of the telescopes used to take the first image of the M87 black hole together with its powerful jet.

The historic first image of the Messier 87 (M87) supermassive black hole, captured using the Event Horizon Telescope, has been sharped using a machine learning technique called PRIMO. PRIMO is short ...

It's about 6.5 billion times as massive as our Sun — that's enormous even compared to other supermassive black holes and lives in the center of the Messier 87 galaxy. And as far as experts can ...

The James Webb Telescope continues to provide us with stunning images of our universe, this time capturing a black hole swallowing up nearby cosmic bodies. The black hole lies at the centre of the ...

And the supermassive black hole at the center of Messier 87 is so huge that astronomers could see it from 55 million light-years away. It's 24 billion miles across and contains the same mass as 6 ...

A surprising new study from Dartmouth and the University of Exeter researchers shows that when the supermassive black holes at the center of most large galaxies—including the Milky Way—consume ...

Sgr A*, in turn, is dwarfed by some supermassive black holes detected in other large galaxies such as one with a mass 6.5 billion times greater than that of the sun in a galaxy called Messier 87.

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.

"Black holes are so stealthy that this one has been practically under our noses this whole time." The galaxy next door to the Milky Way, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), could be hiding a ...
