First Direct Image of a Black Hole Expelling a Powerful Jet | ESO
ESOcast 260 Light: For the first time, astronomers have observed, in the same image, the shadow of the black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87) and the powerful jet expelled from it. This was accomplished with the help of Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) radio telescopes, of which the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is a partner.
