At the center of Messier 87, a giant galaxy 55 million light-years from Earth, is a darkness 24 billion miles across and as massive as 6.5 billion suns — a trapdoor to infinity called a black hole.

The new photo features the monstrous supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87), the first black hole ever directly imaged by humanity.. The image shows precisely for the ...

The first photo taken of a black hole looks a little sharper after the original data was combined with machine learning. The image, first released in 2019, now includes more detail and resembles a ...

The historic first image of the Messier 87 (M87) supermassive black hole, captured using the Event Horizon Telescope, has been sharped using a machine learning technique called PRIMO. PRIMO is ...

The supermassive black hole is at the center of the galaxy Messier 87, or M87. The observations were initially made in 2018 by combining the capabilities of multiple telescopes.

The iconic picture of the supermassive black hole at the center of Messier 87, a giant galaxy sitting 53 million light-years from Earth in the "nearby" Virgo cluster, was first released in 2019.

Astronomers have observed, in one image, the shadow of the black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87) and the powerful jet expelled from it. Thanks to this new image, astronomers can ...
