In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have revealed the origins of the supermassive black hole's powerful jet at the center of the M87 galaxy, and unveiled the first-ever image of the jet and its source together. The observations also revealed that the black hole's ring is much larger than previously believed. The research was conducted using the Global mm-VLBI Array, which united radio telescopes around the world. This discovery is a powerful demonstration of how telescopes with complementary capabilities can be used to fundamentally advance our understanding of astronomical objects and phenomena.
