Unveiling the Mysteries of the Universe
M87’s supermassive black hole sits at the heart of its host galaxy, about 55 million light-years from Earth. The new JWST image reveals the black hole’s powerful jet with stunning clarity, allowing scientists to observe intricate details never seen before. This sharper image helps researchers understand how black holes launch jets of material across vast distances in space. The JWST’s advanced technology marks a significant step forward in cosmic exploration and further cements its role as a game-changer for astronomy.
