For the first time, astronomers have captured the powerful jets spewing out of a black hole and the black hole itself in the same image.Until now, they'd only been able to capture them in separate images.As detailed in a new paper in Nature, the image shows the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87, also known as M87, and was put together using 2018 data collected by telescopes across the world, including the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile.
