The Galaxy, the Jet, and the Black Hole
Messier 87 is a giant elliptical galaxy in the Virgo cluster, 55 million light-years away. This infrared image from the Spitzer Space Telescope shows its blue hues and the relativistic jets blasting from its center. M87 hosts the supermassive black hole that the Event Horizon Telescope imaged for the first time.
