Galaxy M87 and jet
Galactic jet. Combined optical and infrared image of the giant elliptical galaxy M87, or NGC 4486. M87 has a prominent jet (blue) streaming from its core (yellow). The jet is made of electrons and other particles accelerated from around a supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy. The light we see comes from electrons spiralling around magnetic field lines in the jet, a process called synchrotron radiation. M87 is about 50 million light years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. This image was made with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) on the Hubble Space Telescope.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the galaxy M87 and its extraordinary jet. The giant elliptical galaxy, also known as NGC 4486, is depicted in a combined optical and infrared image that unveils its celestial wonders. At the heart of M87 lies a supermassive black hole, which propels a prominent blue jet streaming from its core. Composed of accelerated electrons and other particles, this galactic jet is an awe-inspiring phenomenon. The yellow core represents the source of these high-energy particles, while the blue beam illustrates their incredible journey through space. Synchrotron radiation causes electrons to spiral around magnetic field lines within the jet, emitting light that illuminates our view. Located approximately 50 million light years away from Earth in the constellation Virgo, M87 stands as a testament to cosmic marvels beyond our reach. This remarkable image was captured using the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) aboard NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Its intricate details offer profound insights into astrophysics and cosmology. As we gaze upon this breathtaking snapshot from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our universe's mysteries. It serves as a reminder that there is so much more to explore and discover beyond our own planet—a vast expanse where galaxies like M87 continue to captivate us with their enigmatic beauty.
