Description

M87 (NGC 4486) is an elliptical galaxy in Virgo. The diameter is about 500,000 light-years and the distance is about 60 million light-years. M87 is famous for its obvious characteristics. In its central region, there is an astonishing ejection, which is thousands of light-years away. Nearly 1.3 billion stars are concentrated in the central region of M87, where scientists believe there may be a huge black hole, where high-speed electrons and particles ejected from the core are the product of black hole action.
