"Captivating Image Reveals Supermassive Black Hole's Violent Jet"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers have released a new image of the supermassive black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy, showing the connection between the black hole, its light ring, and the high-speed jet. The image was made using a combination of radio telescopes, and it's the first time all three major parts of the object are in the same image. The observations show the region in radio light emitted at a longer wavelength than the previous image, revealing more details about the jet and the material swirling into the black hole. Future studies will continue to probe the connection between black holes and their jets.
