M87's Energetic Jet

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

A jet of energetic particles streams from the core of giant elliptical galaxy M87 for 5,000 light-years. This jet is visible across the electromagnetic spectrum, from X-ray to radio wavelengths. The emission comes from high-energy electrons spiraling along magnetic field lines, likely powered by a supermassive black hole.
