RX J1131-1231 is a distant, supermassive-black-hole-containing quasar located about 6 billion light years from Earth in the constellation Crater. [1] [2]In 2014, astronomers found that the X-rays being emitted are coming from a region inside the accretion disk located about three times the radius of the event horizon.
Radio image of Porphyrion, a black hole jet system spanning an estimated 23 million light-years. The image, taken with the LOFAR HBA at a central observing frequency of 144 MHz, has an effective resolution of 6.2" and covers 15' × 15' of sky. The Milky Way (assumed diameter: 50 kpc) is shown for scale.

Hubble Space Telescope image of galaxy NGC 5084's core. A dark, vertical line near the center shows the curve of a dusty disk orbiting the core, suggesting a supermassive black hole inside.
The black hole was imaged using data collected in 2017 by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), with a final, processed image released on 10 April 2019. [13] In March 2021, the EHT Collaboration presented, for the first time, a polarized-based image of the black hole which may help better reveal the forces giving rise to quasars. [14]
Over a year ago, a group of researchers made a revolutionary breakthrough when they successfully captured the first-ever image of a celestial phenomenon — a black hole. The short sequence of ...
Scientists have revealed the first ever image taken of a black hole. While the black hole itself is invisibly dark, astronomers managed to observe the “point-of-no-return” precipice around its ...
Cygnus X-1 (abbreviated Cyg X-1) [11] is a galactic X-ray source in the constellation Cygnus and was the first such source widely accepted to be a black hole. [12] [13] It was discovered in 1964 during a rocket flight and is one of the strongest X-ray sources detectable from Earth, producing a peak X-ray flux density of 2.3 × 10 −23 W/(m 2 ⋅Hz) (2.3 × 10 3 jansky).
