Astronomers capture first-ever image of black hole emitting plasma jets.

Scientists have captured the first-ever direct image of a supermassive black hole located at the center of the M87 galaxy, 6.5 billion times bigger than our sun, spewing out powerful jets of plasma. The image is the first to connect the jets to the edge of the supermassive black hole, providing unprecedented insight into how these jets, some of the brightest objects in the galaxy, are created. The discovery could help unlock the mystery of how galaxies form.
