Artists impression of active galaxy M87
Artists impression of the heart of the active galaxy M87 (Virgo A, NGC 4486, 3C 274). Located some 50 million light years away, M87 is a giant elliptical galaxy which is believed to have a black hole, with a mass of 5000 million Suns, at its centre. Two opposed jets of material, one much brighter than the other, have been ejected from the galaxys nucleus. The brighter of the two jets (top) extends some 5000 light years outwards from the core

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's impression of the heart of the active galaxy M87, also known as Virgo A or NGC 4486. Located a staggering 50 million light years away from us, M87 is an immense elliptical galaxy that holds within it a colossal black hole with a mass equivalent to 5000 million Suns. The image beautifully captures two opposing jets of material emanating from the nucleus of this galactic giant. One jet shines brighter than the other and stretches an astonishing distance of approximately 5000 light years outward from the core. These jets are believed to be propelled by powerful forces originating near the central black hole. Intriguingly, this snapshot provides us with invaluable insights into cosmology and galactic dynamics. The presence of such energetic jets suggests intense activity occurring within M87, making it classified as an active galaxy. As we marvel at this extraordinary visual representation, let us appreciate how it deepens our understanding of celestial phenomena. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this awe-inspiring moment in time for all astronomy enthusiasts to relish in its grandeur and contemplate the mysteries hidden within our vast universe.
