The giant radio galaxy Messier 87 is located in our immediate "cosmic vicinity", only about 55 million light years away. In the bright outflow of matter from the center of Messier 87, particles are ...

The release of a remarkable image of the black hole at the center of our galaxy isn’t only an incredible scientific achievement — it also agrees precisely with predictions about what black holes are ...

Following is a transcript of the video. What you are seeing is the first ever image of a black hole. Maybe it doesn't look spectacular at first. But consider this: Black holes by their very nature are ...

Capturing an image of a black hole was considered impossible just a generation ago but an international collaboration produced that very impossibility last month. On Thursday, scientists told Congress ...

The new observations reveal that Messier 87's halo of stars has been cut short, with a diameter of about a million light-years, significantly smaller than expected, despite being about three times the ...
