Description
English: [top left] - This radio image of the galaxy M87, taken with the Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope in February 1989, shows giant bubble-like structures where radio emission is thought to be powered by the jets of subatomic particles coming from the galaxy's central black hole. The false color corresponds to the intensity of the radio energy being emitted by the jet. M87 is located 50 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo.

[top right] - A visible light image of the giant elliptical galaxy M87, taken with NASA Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in February 1998, reveals a brilliant jet of high-speed electrons emitted from the nucleus (diagonal line across image). The jet is produced by a 3-billion-solar-mass black hole.

[bottom] - A Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) radio image of the region close to the black hole, where an extragalactic jet is formed into a narrow beam by magnetic fields. The false color corresponds to the intensity of the radio energy being emitted by the jet. The red region is about 1/10 light-year across. The image was taken in March 1999.
Čeština: [vlevo nahoře] Tento rádiový snímek galaxie Messier 87, pořízený rádiovým teleskopem Very Large Array (VLA) v únoru 1989, ukazuje obří útvary podobné bublinám, ve kterých rádiové záření podle předpokladu vzniká díky energii výtrysku elementárních částic, který vychází z ústřední černé díry. Obrázek v nepravých barvách ukazuje míru vydávaného rádiového záření.

[vpravo nahoře] Snímek galaxie Messier 87 ve viditelném světle, který v únoru 1998 pořídil přístroj Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 Hubbleova vesmírného dalekohledu, odhaluje zářivý výtrysk elektronů vysílaných vysokou rychlostí z jádra galaxie (na obrázku míří úhlopříčně). Výtrysk pohání černá díra o hmotnosti 3 miliard hmotností Slunce.

[dole] Rádiový snímek z teleskopu Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) ukazuje oblast okolo černé díry, kde se magnetickým polem usměrňuje úzký svazek výtrysku. Nepravé barvy odpovídají míře rádiového záření vydávaného výtryskem. Červená oblast má rozměr přibližně 0,1 světelného roku. Snímek je z března 1999.
