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

In 2019, the world was mesmerized by the first-ever image of a black hole, courtesy of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). The ...

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 ...

The signal from the gamma ray burst, dubbed GRB 221009A, had been traveling for about 1.9 billion years before it reached Earth, making it among the closest known "long" GRBs, whose initial, or ...

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.
