The inset (in radio light) zooms in on the black hole, and shows the swirling gas around the galaxy’s core. M87 is one of the largest galaxies known, and has the largest-known black hole, estimated around 6.6 billion times the mass of the Sun.

Note in radio waves (the central image at right), the galaxy itself seems to disappear, replaced by crossing jets of radio-emitting jets. Those are produced by the supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s core.https://bowlerhatscience.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/cygus_x1_small.jpgCygnus X-1The X-ray source known as Cygnus X-1 was the first black hole identified. Charged particles (electrons and protons) stripped off a companion star are accelerated nearly to the speed of light, causing them to emit a lot of high-energy photons. [Credit: Chandra X-ray observatory/NASA]https://bowlerhatscience.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/black_hole.pngstructure of a black holeThe “interior” of a black hole. The rotation of the black hole is revealed by how it distorts the shape of spacetime around it: a veritable whirlpool dragging matter and light that comes too close. In the region known as the ergosphere, this effect is so strong nothing can be at rest, no matter how much energy it has. Traveling closer (not that you’d want to), the event horizon defines the black hole’s boundary. Once anything passes inside the event horizon, it cannot return to the outside universe.
