The Event Horizon Telescope Zooms in on a Black Hole's Jet


The Event Horizon Telescope has given us amazing views of the supermassive black holes at the hearts of M87 and the Milky Way. A new image from the EHT shows another black hole at the core of the radio galaxy 3C 84.

A series of images show the power of the EHT, resolving the region around the black hole where the jets form.
