✓ We just found that M 87/Messier 87 Black Hole spins Moreover, • The black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy, known as M87*, is believed to spin because of the conservation of angular momentum. • When massive stars collapse to form black holes, any angular momentum they had is also conserved. • This means that if the star was rotating before it collapsed, the resulting black hole will also have angular momentum, causing it to spin. • The exact rotation rate of M87* is determined through astr

✓ Messier 87 observation • Explore the heart of Messier 87, where the colossal supermassive black hole is revealed in stunning detail. • Witness the groundbreaking observation that brings the mysteries of the universe to light. Moreover, • A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. • It forms when a massive star collapses under its own gravity, creating an object with an incredibly dense core and an event horizon—the boundary be

Zooming in on the Black Hole and Jet of Galaxy Messier 87 | ESO FriendsofNASA.org: This zoom video starts with a view of Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) radio telescopes in Chile and zooms in on the heart of the M87 galaxy, showing successively more detailed observations. The final image shows the shadow of the black hole and a powerful jet expelled from it, together for the first time in the same image. The observations were obtained with telescopes from the Global Millimete

Let's dive into the supermassive black hole, M87 Moreover, • M87, in full Messier 87, also called Virgo A or NGC4486. • It's a vast elliptical galaxy in the constellation Virgo whose nucleus contains a black hole, the first ever to be directly imaged. • M87 is the most potent known source of radio energy among the thousands of galactic systems comprising the so-called Virgo Cluster. • It is also a powerful X-ray source, which signifies the presence of very hot gas in the galaxy. • A luminous gas
