M87* is the first black hole ever photographed. It sits in the center of the massive galaxy Messier 87, which is located about 340 quintillion miles from Earth. This cosmic giant, which holds roughly ...

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

Using observations from 2017 and 2018, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has provided new insights into the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87, known as M87*.

M87* black hole shows dynamic plasma ring shifts from 2017-2018 Gas spirals inward, defying the black hole's rotation in some instances Advanced modelling reveals turbulent feeding mechanisms near M87 ...

The discovery came as the result of a new form of "black hole archeology" that links black hole spins to the gas and dust they have consumed to grow over 7 billion years of cosmic history.

If a run-of-the-mill act of stellar destruction wasn’t behind the black hole’s bizarre behavior, what was? A crucial clue could lie in the timing of the black hole’s flickering x-ray pulses ...

At that time, it began emitting radio waves at 60 times the previous intensity over just a few months, behavior which has never been monitored in real time for a supermassive black hole.
