- 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.

That HUGE jet of energy in itself is mind boggling.
Biggest Frikkin Lazer beams to attach to a space sharks head
Elan Emilio Why isn’t it?
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.
4,900 light years in length!
@@Gun4Freedom Thanks much for that explanation.
Well… never thought I would see a black hole without it being an artist rendition... wow...
Had to happen at some point
T38 Talon yes we have
Still haven't, really. Nobody has directly observed one. You can interpret data however you like.
@@natural_nc7230 devolution! Everything, *everything* is devolving.
@@natural_nc7230 evolution doesn't happen. Everything everywhere is devolving. This is just one example. Entropy is, and it is in everything.
I love the happy music while showing the most destructive object in the entire universe that obliterates anything known to man
😂 Funny
Alberts stuff still chill
The music is happy because it's a great achievement
XD
maybe it doesn't obliterate things that are unknown to men? lol just kidding around.
It’s boggles me at 1:00 in to the final picture how much was layered away and yet still engulfs Neptune’s orbit showing how enormous M87 is
You zoomed in that much and it's still that bigger than our solar system? I'm baffled.
38 micro arc seconds. Like seeing a coin from the moon. MUCH smaller than even the landers. This is by far the biggest zoom in telescopic history.
It's about 124 AU. So yes, swallows our solar system.
GyanAddict it not only bigger than solar system it bigger than many galaxy , almost 6 billion times our sun , Largest black hole as we say smbh
@@SNEHA-uk7oh this black hole is not bigger than a galaxy
The quasar of this black hole is so long it can stretch from the sun to pluto and back 1.5 million times
That Neptune orbit comparison with Black hole's size gives me chills of curiosity.
Seeing the Neptune's orbit, I felt sad for Pluto !
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.
@dread true,
A dwarf person is still a person.
With a planet it's the same. Pluto is still considered a planet, but a dwarf planet. Only that.
@@brunnomenxa Since when are dwarves people? I thought they were grown in secret gardens...
@@DC2022 Pluto is a planet. Cry about it
Thank you a lot for your great PR work! You didn't have to do a zoom in like this but you did!
he has to or else i won't understand
_"Lets enchance it"_
Amazing. Imagine how the resolution may increase with the James Webb telescope. Thank you for this zoom in.
James web is no where near being as powerful as the event horizon telescope
as if it will launch :p
At this point I think the James Webb telescope is just vaporware so that some guys can have permanent government funding their whole lives.
@@angeloportugal8899 hello 😁
@@DerekMoore82 it's happening man
So Freaking Fabulous!
Amazing astounding work! This shows what it takes to get the picture.
Thank You Hubble Staff!
i feel like a caveman trying to understand this video 🤤 (it still blows my mind tho)
no need to feel like a caveman, they don't understand either 😂
I'm the opposite. I understand everything this video is saying. OOGA BOOGA, BITCH.
@@CooManTunes why tf do u have to be so damn rude? Just bc they didnt study astronomy for 30 years like your old ass did doesnt mean they're medically stupid.
@@LaraPruitt64 lol . U roasted him badly that his ashes are not even in this Galaxy😂😂
@@LaraPruitt64 it's saying "hole big, fire bigger"
Awesome! Thank you for the context. Now I can visualize the scale of the matter it's sucking in.
You can see 55 million years away so sad you can't see what tomorrow brings.
you are actually looking at the past event... 14 light years past..
Not 55million years it is 55 million light years
@@ridhamsharma2320 I think he meant that the light we see was emitted from it 55 million years ago but that we can't even see something one day ahead of us
@@ridhamsharma2320 55 million ly means light needs 55 million years to hit your eyes. So you literally see 55 million years ago black hole
I mean if you eat super spicy tacos, you know tomorrow brings diarrhoea
The previous zoom of the event horizon was already absolutely impressive
I've enjoyed some recent 'black hole' videos from this channel & this one amazing as well. Luckily, you've added a piece of soothing music. So that I felt less scared. Thanks from Great Britain (Sat 27 Mar 2021 13h15)
That little bitty circle in the middle is the size of Neptune's orbit.. that's mind boggling
Me here thinking before 1:24. 'Ahh this black sphere would be the size of the sun' . But then " the size of Neptune's Orbit "😵
If it was the size of sun then we would probably see a point instead of this image
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.
Right? Just mind boggling.. :/
No words ...but thanks. Thank you !
Dear Dr. Summers, thank you for such very interesting zooming. You give us so intensely the exactness and wonder and poetry of Science, and of Nature.
Thanks for including me 😊
Beautiful and mind boggling! And so encouraging to see what humans can achieve when they put their mind to it and work together.
If only all humanity was so together, just think where we could be in our evolution?
Thank you.. amazing video, amazing sience. ❤❤❤
The quasar was one of the coolest things I've seen!
Thanks for the recommendation youtube! Love science and space so much
Humans "Yay we finally get to see a black hole, this is a HUGE step for our civilization"
Aliens "oh how cute"
Ok
Hahaha
@jnicemint hahahha
@Impersonal Brahman just knowing does not bring satisfaction right?
Supermasively Amazing!
Breathtaking,
Thank You
Brilliantly done.. Thank you...
Thank you!
I bet us finding a black hole is the equivalent of witnessing a baby's first steps to aliens.
They're all like "oh how cute they finally took a few steps"
We r the aliens to them
@Megas Pantelos are you trying to be funny or cool? Didn't work weirdo
@Megas Pantelos not really no one reacted or responded with enjoyment
Wow! Amazing pictures.
It is unbelievable how much info can be pulled out of this object that is so mindbogglingly far away. Thank you for sharing this.
thats realy nice, thanks! ✌
Lol i literally read the title as
"A zoom call to the black hole in M87"
😂😂😅
Lmao
Same here 😂
Expected historical moment
Awesome presentation!
Now i understand why it is blurred🥺
Great work.. that had to be very time consuming, but it paid off well..👍
The music makes this black hole.. feels lonely but happy.. 😊
This is incredible
Space will never fail to excite and mesmorize you
I am truly feel sorry for they who give thumb down. Something sure are wrong with them.
Flat earthers
Beautiful ❤️
Cool!
Amazing!
Music of the Universe.....
Love it and the philosophy that describes this wonderful nature ....
Neptune's orbit was so small compared to its size which was zoomed in so much now just imagine how massive that energy coming out of it would be it would be like enough for the whole earth for many years.
It whould be enough for a trillion years and more.
@@spentify4999 just think if we could get aur hands on it. We would never run out of energy
But it is beyond impossible atleast with today's technology
@@AniketKumar-lw6su true
Wow The Radiation 😮
HI5 buddy, very good video!
Love the music xD
Finally a nice backgroubd music 🎶
_A m a z i n g m u s i c..._
so zoomed and "tiny" ! and you're still thinking.. omg, this is huge!
I ❤️this video.
Nasa and the others did a great job capturing this...
The power of a black hole is just mind boggling!
That last bit that showed Neptune's orbit gave me thw chills. Man, we're insignificant.
Strange .. amazing .. wonderful ... Mind-blowing👍👍👍
Okay thanks 🙏 for all
It's crazy how big this is imagine being there to see it in person...
It’s f amazing, how closer we are getting to have even better pictures of this black hole 🕳 knowing how FARRRRRR IT IS
It didn't seem huge until they put Neptune's orbit in perspective.
An amazing video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing...
great video
Wonderful essence of Astronomy!always fascinated by black holes 🌌⚫🌌
I can't wait for the James Webb! IF it goes as planned, it should make even the Hubble's AMAZING pics look like a Windows95 computer with a dial-up modem.
Wait so we had all those pictures before hand? imo they look even cooler!
Hubble can't see the black hole, but can see the huge jet that emanates from it.

Not everyone loves science.. yeah thats true.. but these types of videos deserves more audience...
Dumbass above me
@@user-oz5iy4bl1u he's got a point though
@@SpectorEuro4 agree and without looking it up on the internet i can give him dozen amazing reasons but the ignorance in his statement will overshadowed his ability to understand and on top of that just click on his profile, you will find that the account is created few hours ago and he replied with this same statement on five different comments.
@@user-oz5iy4bl1u there are two types of people. Who are fascinated about the new discoveries and new inventions and they appreciate it. They may not be huge fans who commit their time researching about such stuff. But still they like such content. And then theres people like that guy. Who lives a fake life. Pretending to be someone else and spread hatred. Every country has their own unique types of idiots. The best answer for them is ignorance. Lol
I feel I'm a special person who was in this age to see an image of a black hole for the first time
Same. First gravity waves now this. Exciting times!
Yes but its kind of saddening that we wont be here when the real fun starts.
When it says, "size of Neptune's orbit"
I got Goosebumps
Why this black hole is much brighter than my future?...
amazing
Respect for the cameraman to get a picture of the black hole.
what a beauty !
I never thought I would be able to see what is at the bottom.
Pretty cool
Look mom I'm spaghettified!
That last image + caption gave me goosebumps. So that blackhole is the size of Neptune's orbit? Holeee...
The black hole is anywhere between 2.4 to 6.5 billion times the mass of our sun. The jet that is spewing out of the black hole dew to the strong magnetic field is 5000 light years long!
@@Taczy2023 simply mindboggling!
Amazing how all the photons are completely negated beginning 2/3 out from the event horizon! A region of no detectable electromagnetic radiation due to the unfathomable gravitational time/space warping even before reaching the event horizon.
But how many football fields is that?
One day we wil go and see even closer of this magnificent monster.
Love and respect to all the scientists.
Yeh... Definitely
putting in the orbit of Neptune put into perspective how massive that black whole is.
How big of an equivalent feature would this represent on the moon?
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.
Black holes, where nothing can escape. Nothing except all that matter blasting away from it at mind boggling speed.
wow thats great!!!!
Where were you when they invented PictureTube, the streaming service to look at still images
wait. so our solar system would easily fit into that event horizon??
That huge trail of energy is mesemerizing.
Makes us realise how insignificant we are
That jet of plasma shot from the hole is what? like 1400 light years across. Consider that for a moment. At 989,000 miles a second it takes 1400 years to go from start to finish on the jet plume. Beyond massive, we need bigger words.
We are so small
Beautiful and amazing... but shouldn't that be "Event Horizon Telescopes" with the "s" on the end there?
This looks like something out of Pokèmon sun and moon when you go through the hole thing
Just a curious question to anyone who knows a lot about space, so when a black hole starts its destructive part it releases the energy of the star its destroying? Is the black hole sucking the sucking the star in or just pushing its pieces in all directions?
sucking in first
and pushing out its own energy as jets
@@AstroRoxy interesting, I thought it would suck a star and transfer its energy to a different location in the galaxy lol. Thanks for the info😊
at the end they could have held a while longer with the circle saying: "Size of Neptune's orbit" to give peoples of earth time to digest the size of this. Speaking of size, enjoy a bucket of fried chicken today for national digest day!
If we say that we are absolutely nothing face with universe, we are still been extremely egocentric.
ikr?
That jet is nearly 4900 light years long
Nice
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.
This is supermassive Black hole.
