The AGN at the center of Messier 87 ejecting superheated matter (in the form of plasma) from one of its poles. Most AGN & Quasars also spew out plasma, although most spew out of both their poles.
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The jet emerging from the galactic core of M87 (NGC 4486). The jet extends to about 20 arc seconds (absolute length ca. 5 kly).
Composite image of Hubble Telescope observations. The galaxy is too distant for the Hubble Telescope to resolve individual stars; the bright dots in the image are star clusters, assumed to contain some hundreds of thousands of stars each. Original caption:
Čeština: Výtrysk plazmatu z jádra galaxie M87, který vychází z okolí černé díry
العربية: تدفق مادي ناتج عن ثقب أسود ينبثق من المنطقة المركزية لمجرة مسييه 87. |
