Zooming into the heart of Centaurus A galaxy, this image sequence reveals a supermassive black hole launching a powerful jet. From a galactic-scale view to the EHT's detailed image of the jet's launching region, the images show the jet's structure and evolution. The EHT, a global network of radio telescopes, unveils new details about the powerful forces shaping these cosmic phenomena.

Stunning image of spiral galaxy NGC 1097, located 45 million light-years away in the Fornax constellation. The vibrant blue spiral arms, dotted with pink star-forming regions, wrap around a smaller companion galaxy. Faint jets extend beyond the arms, possibly fossil star streams from a past galactic interaction. The galaxy's core houses a supermassive black hole.
