M87, a prominent galaxy in the Virgo cluster, gained fame after the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) revealed the first image of ...

Scientists observed M87’s first gamma-ray flare in a decade, revealing insights into its supermassive black hole and ...

The jet emerging from M87’s supermassive black hole is tens of millions of times larger than its event horizon. In 2019, the ...

"We were lucky to detect a gamma-ray flare from M87 during this Event Horizon Telescope's multi-wavelength campaign. This marks the first gamma-ray flaring event observed in this source in over a ...

The 25 ground-based and orbiting telescopes that comprise the EHT saw the outburst as high-energy light called gamma rays. Not only was this the first time M87* had flared since 2010, but the ...

when the Event Horizon Telescope captured an image of the supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s center. An international research team including UCLA has observed a teraelectronvolt gamma-ray ...

these telescopes have provided insight into the unseen parts of the cosmos—i.e., in the infrared, gamma-ray, and ultraviolet spectrums. With the success of these observatories and the James Webb ...

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.
