  • A zoom into the giant elliptical galaxy Messier 87 (M87) from a wide field view of the entire galaxy to the supermassive black hole at its core. This series of nine images starts with visible light views, but quickly transitions to radio wavelengths. The final image from the Event Horizon Telescope has a resolution 2500 times better than the Hubble Space Telescope.

      It's a 5,000 light year long, hyper-ionized, ultra high temperature, relatavistic speed plasma vortex, created by a black hole with a diameter comparable to that of the Oort cloud, consuming an average of 90 solar masses a day. You can say that, but the words can't actually make much sense when our entire solar system is microscopic compared to such scale. If you look where the magnetosphere should be, surrounding the equatorial regions, especially in the radio emission spectrum, it looks like ripples on a pond. You can cross reference those ripples, at least some of them, with variations of intensity within the vortex to see when it has had big meals.

      Pluto has an excentric orbit so it would be less relevant than the Neptune stable one. Stop this childish complain about Pluto's status.

      @@DC2022 Pluto's orbit is stable though a bit chaotic and different. We've found analogues to the Pluto-Neptune orbits with gas giant exoplanets larger than Jove too FWIW. (See Ken Croswell's articles by subject. Oh & his 2 Pluto questions and more.) Pluto is an amazing, dynamic and magnificent little planet and, y'know, it has more moons than the entire inner solar system _(Mercury, Venus, Earth & Mars)_ combined! Plus if Earth orbited where Pluto did it wouldn't be able to clear its orbit either and dwarf stars are still counted as fully stars so why not dwarf planets equally counting as fully planets huh? Inconsistent much? Anyhow, think and remember not all astronomers agree with the IAU's arguably worst ever mistake here.

    And it's not even the most powerful quasar either. There's an even bigger one that is 700 trillion times more luminous than the sun. Seriously, the universe is mad.

      Hubble can't see the black hole, but can see the huge jet that emanates from it.

    Just a curious question to anyone who knows a lot about space, so when a black hole starts its destructive part it releases the energy of the star its destroying? Is the black hole sucking the sucking the star in or just pushing its pieces in all directions?

      sucking in first
      and pushing out its own energy as jets

      @@AstroRoxy interesting, I thought it would suck a star and transfer its energy to a different location in the galaxy lol. Thanks for the info😊

    I always thought that black holes create jets at both side , didn't know that there are one sided ones too
