人类首次看见的黑洞有了新照片

Group 1 - The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration has released new images and research findings regarding the supermassive black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy, revealing the evolution of polarized radiation over time [1] - The M87 galaxy is approximately 55 million light-years away from Earth, and its central black hole has a mass over 6 billion times that of the Sun [1] - The analysis of images from 2017, 2018, and 2021 shows a significant change in the magnetic field distribution around the M87 black hole, indicating a continuous evolutionary state of the black hole and its surrounding environment [1] Group 2 - Powerful jets, like those from the M87 black hole, play a crucial role in galaxy evolution by regulating star formation and energy distribution on a large scale [2] - These jets produce a wide range of electromagnetic radiation, including gamma rays and neutrinos, providing a unique "laboratory" for studying the formation mechanisms of extreme cosmic phenomena [2] - The ongoing improvements in the observational capabilities of the Event Horizon Telescope deepen the understanding of the physical properties of black holes [2]
