A Zoom to the Black Hole in M87 

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.

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.

😂 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.

he has to or else i won't understand

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

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

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

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"

If it was the size of sun then we would probably see a point instead of this image

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

Right? Just mind boggling.. :/

Lmao

Same here 😂

If only all humanity was so together, just think where we could be in our evolution?

Ok

Hahaha

@jnicemint hahahha

@Impersonal Brahman just knowing does not bring satisfaction right?

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

Flat earthers

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

Hubble can't see the black hole, but can see the huge jet that emanates from it.

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.

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😊

Same. First gravity waves now this. Exciting times!

Yes but its kind of saddening that we wont be here when the real fun starts.

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!
