NASA X-ray Spacecraft Observes Jet from M87* Black Holehttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/nasa-x-ray-spacecraft-catches-jet-erupting-from-1st-supermassive-black-hole-imaged-by-humanityhttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/nasa-x-ray-spacecraft-catches-jet-erupting-from-1st-supermassive-black-hole-imaged-by-humanity#u11776Wed, 24 Jun 2026 20:51:07 +0000NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory captured a jet erupting from M87*. This black hole was the first of its kind to be imaged by humans. The jet releases energy from matter falling into the supermassive black hole.What's confirmed:A jet erupts from M87*, the first black hole imaged by humanity.Still unconfirmed:2026 discoveries reveal new details about the origin, evolution, and connection to M87*.

The researchers analyzed data collected between 2012 and 2025 to track the evolution of jet structures. These jets extend thousands of light-years through the galaxy as energy is expelled from matter falling toward the black hole.What's confirmed:The supermassive black hole in galaxy M87 is located about 55 million light-years from Earth.The Event Horizon Telescope first released an image of the M87 supermassiv NASA Chandra Observatory Captures Sharpest X-Ray View of M87 Black Hole Jethttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/nasa-x-ray-spacecraft-catches-jet-erupting-from-1st-supermassive-black-hole-imaged-by-humanityhttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/nasa-x-ray-spacecraft-catches-jet-erupting-from-1st-supermassive-black-hole-imaged-by-humanity#u4745Fri, 19 Jun 2026 15:46:21 +0000Astronomers have produced the most detailed X-ray views ever obtained of the jet from the supermassive black hole in galaxy M87. The team used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to track the evolution of jet structures. This work reveals fast-moving structures and provides new clues about black hole physics.What's confirmed:The supermassive black hole at the center of Messier 87 is approximately 6.5 billion times the mass of the Sun.M87 is located about 55 million light-years from Earth.The Event Horizon Telescope released the first direct image of the M87 black hole in 2019.Camille Poitras
