A Zoom to the Black Hole in M87
Ғылым және технология
A zoom into the giant elliptical galaxy Messier 87 (M87) from a wide field view of the entire galaxy to the supermassive black hole at its core. This series of nine images starts with visible light views, but quickly transitions to radio wavelengths. The final image from the Event Horizon Telescope has a resolution 2500 times better than the Hubble Space Telescope.

It's a 5,000 light year long, hyper-ionized, ultra high temperature, relatavistic speed plasma vortex, created by a black hole with a diameter comparable to that of the Oort cloud, consuming an average of 90 solar masses a day. You can say that, but the words can't actually make much sense when our entire solar system is microscopic compared to such scale. If you look where the magnetosphere should be, surrounding the equatorial regions, especially in the radio emission spectrum, it looks like ripples on a pond. You can cross reference those ripples, at least some of them, with variations of intensity within the vortex to see when it has had big meals.

Pluto has an excentric orbit so it would be less relevant than the Neptune stable one. Stop this childish complain about Pluto's status. It's still a very interesting place where scientists look with very pricey instruments, for example they would not have launched New Horizon if Pluto was not interesting.

@@DC2022 Pluto's orbit is stable though a bit chaotic and different. We've found analogues to the Pluto-Neptune orbits with gas giant exoplanets larger than Jove too FWIW. (See Ken Croswell's articles by subject. Oh & his 2 Pluto questions and more.) Pluto is an amazing, dynamic and magnificent little planet and, y'know, it has more moons than the entire inner solar system _(Mercury, Venus, Earth & Mars)_ combined! Plus if Earth orbited where Pluto did it wouldn't be able to clear its orbit either and dwarf stars are still counted as fully stars so why not dwarf planets equally counting as fully planets huh? Inconsistent much? Anyhow, think and remember not all astronomers agree with the IAU's arguably worst ever mistake here.

That thing is such a monster. It's rotational energy that powers that jet is estimated at an insanity beyond insanity 10^64 ergs. This is so great that it is around 0.2-0.5% of the entire rest mass energy of the Milky Way Galaxy (if all the mass was converted completely into energy) - just in the rotation of that behemoth. And it's not even the most powerful quasar either. There's an even bigger one that is 700 trillion times more luminous than the sun. Seriously, the universe is mad.

Considering that the human eye can resolve up to 1 arc min Or 60 arc seconds, this video can resolve up to 10 micro arc seconds or even less. That's like a factor of 6 million to 10 million times better than the human eye. That makes M87's black hole the smallest angular size ever imaged in astrophysics history.
Thank you!

An angular resolution of 15 micro-arc-seconds corresponds to a physical scale of about one inch at the average distance of the Moon. This answer should not be construed to imply that this array of radio telescopes could actually do such an observation.

Hubble Telescope Hi I have questions about the speed of galaxy rotation and dark matter The speed of rotation of the galaxies in the universe is due to dark matter The question is if the ratio of dark matter is low, will the speed be slower? If the ratio of dark matter is too much, will the speed be stronger? The second question is how galaxies were formed if the ratio of dark matter was very small. Please send question one and question two to physicists
@kermanguy1877

Dark matter just adds mass, thus gravitational force, to a galaxy. With more dark matter, the galaxy exerts more force onto the stars inside it. Imagine that a star is a ball, and that the force of gravity is a long string. Now imagine that you swing the ball around your head. That's an orbit. The faster you swing the ball, the stronger it pulls away from you, and the harder you have to hold it to keep it going around your head. If you pulled on it with the same force, but made the ball go slower, it would come and hit you in the head. If you spun the ball faster, but didn't hold it tight enough, it would fly away. This is basically how stars and orbits work, but how hard the string is tugging on them is constant, in respect to gravity, at least. At least, it should be. When observing galaxies, the stars are moving too fast to not fly off, so dark matter was added as a fudge factor to explain it. Just some mysterious matter to add mass to equations to explain why the stars could move faster than they should be able to.

Would you look at that. That's a big object. Can you image the warpage of spacetime around an object that big, with that much gravity? Take a month, or two, stroll through that much gravity and see how many Earth years have passed by, when you emerge back into ambient space... You'd need some advance shielding technologies from that kind of radiation, gravity, and magnetism, though. I bet its magnetosphere could pull the iron out of your RBC's at quite a considerable distance. I wonder if any worlds, in any star systems, within that massive radiation "jet," have life on them? They'd need dense atmospheres, and strong magnetospheres...
It's crazy how big this is imagine being there to see it in person...
I always thought that black holes create jets at both side , didn't know that there are one sided ones too
