New data released by a team of hundreds of international scientists offers a more comprehensive understanding of the supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy M87 and the system it powers.
In order to measure and observe black hole behavior, researchers gathered information from 19 observatories, using imagery from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST), Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). In 2019, the scientists released the first-ever image of a black hole in the galaxy M87 -- 55 million light-years away from Earth -- using the EHT.More Related News
