At the centers of galaxies, supermassive black holes reside.
This image of the central region of galaxy Messier 87 comes in the X-ray, via NASA’s Chandra X-ray observatory. The central, supermassive black hole is blasting out energetic particles at 99%+ the speed of light, which produces X-rays visible for up to 18,000 light-years from the galactic center. It is often easier to see these features in extragalactic objects than in our own galaxy, due to the large amount of obscuring material pr
