💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🔭⚫ A #PennState astronomer explains that supermassive #blackholes sit at the center of nearly every large #galaxy.

Scientists study them by measuring how fast nearby #stars and gas move. Two theories for their formation remain, and the #JWST may help settle the debate.

Meanwhile we wait for world's first photograph of dark matter (Signal One reference joke), NASA's Chandra X-ray spacecraft have captured the most detailed image yet of the jet erupting from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87), yes the very same black hole to be imaged by humanity back in 2019 and 2025 respectively.

I nuovi risultati del telescopio Event Horizon tracciano il getto di M87 fino al suo buco nero

#M87 #alma @astronomia

Le linee di base telescopiche ampliate, ancorate da ALMA, rivelano nuovi indizi su come il buco nero supermassiccio in M87 abbia lanciato un getto cosmico lungo 3.000 anni luce.

📢🆕🚨 Using new data from the Event Horizon Telescope @‌ehtelescope, researchers have uncovered an important clue: they identified the most likely origin of the powerful outflow of matter (the jet) in the galaxy Messier 87 🌀.
🔭 The observations provide fascinating insights into the immediate surroundings of the extremely massive black hole 🕳️ at the center of the galaxy. Differences in the observed radio emission suggest that the jet forms very close to the black hole — in a region that had remained hidden in previous observations. Detailed modeling then allowed the position of the jet base to be narrowed down.
🕳️ Black holes themselves are invisible — but their surroundings reveal their secrets!

📢🆕🚨 Mit neuen Daten des Event Horizon Telescope @ehtelescope haben Forscherinnen und Forscher einen wichtigen Hinweis gefunden: Sie konnten den wahrscheinlichsten Ursprungsort des gewaltigen Materieausflusses (Jets) in der Galaxie Messier 87 🌀 bestimmen.
🔭 Die Beobachtungen geben spannende Einblicke in die unmittelbare Umgebung des extrem massereichen Schwarzen Lochs 🕳️ im Zentrum der Galaxie. Unterschiede in der gemessenen Radiostrahlung deuten darauf hin, dass sich der Jet sehr nahe am Schwarzen Loch bildet – und zwar in einem Bereich, der bei bisherigen Messungen unentdeckt geblieben war. Mithilfe detaillierter Modelle konnte schließlich die Position der Jet-Basis eingegrenzt werden.
🕳️Schwarze Löcher sind unsichtbar – aber ihre Umgebung verrät ihre Geheimnisse!

While we're on the subject of the horrifying scale of the Universe, I cannot get over what big fat bastard the SMBH at the centre of M87 is when compared to ours!

🔭 Neue Einblicke beim Schwarzen Loch M87*

Wissenschaftler:innen des EHT-Netzwerks haben Bilder von 2017, 2018 und 2021 ausgewertet – und entdeckt: Die Magnetfelder in der Umgebung von M87* verändern sich deutlich über die Jahre.

Zum ersten Mal wurde auch die Basis des Jets, der aus dem Schwarzen Loch herausragt, sichtbar – durch verbesserte Technik und neue Teleskope.

++ Das Beste: Der Schattenring bleibt stabil – Einsteins Vorhersage hält. Doch wir sehen: Rundherum sind Turbulenzen 🔥

We analysed the large-scale jet structure, identifying prominent components, and determined the near-infrared spectral index."

Artist's illustrations of #BlackHoles often have this characteristic ring which is in front of the #BlackHole and continues "above". This ring is an #AccretionDisk made of hot matter on an orbit of the black hole. The strange shape of this ring is due to light bending by the black hole's incredible strong gravitation, which makes something which is *behind* the black hole appear to be above it. [1/3]
