M87 is particularly notable for its powerful relativistic jet, an active galactic nucleus, and the presence of a supermassive Black Hole at its center, which was the first black hole ever imaged ...

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 researchers used observational data on Sagittarius A* and the black hole called M87 collected in April 2017 from eight radio telescope observatories in Chile, Hawaii, Antarctica and three ...

Side-by-side simulated images of M87* show the improvement in clarity ... allowing scientists to measure the size and shape of black holes more precisely.

Black hole evolution: By comparing EHT results from 2017 that were re-analysed using a Bayesian approach (left), to observations made in 2018 (right), astronomers can begin to understand how the black ...

That picture is the only photo ever taken of a black hole. This combination of images provided by researcher Lia Medeiros shows images of the M87 black hole released in 2019, left, and an updated ...
