📡🍩🌀#M87*, which lies 55 million light-years away, is one of the largest #blackholes known. While Sgr A*, 27 000 light-years away, has a mass roughly four million times the Sun’s mass, M87* is more than 1000 times more massive.

Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: nasa.gov/webbfirstimage

$The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.$

Last day of our 2022

Collaboration meeting. 4 days full of exciting #blackhole science, work on #blackhole shadows & finally seeing colleagues face to face after soon long!🤩

Final day of the

collaboration meeting in Granada. Celebrating the past, embracing the future, and celebrating the Einstein medal. It was an energizing meeting. There is still so much more to be done imaging black hole with the EHT! Decade of work ahead.

Let's zoom in all the way to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way. Although it's "only" ~26000 light years away, you have to zoom in very far to see it! #OurBlackHole #SgrABlackHole Credit: Sara Issaoun, SAO
