Infrared image of Messier 87 (M87) galaxy from the Spitzer Space Telescope, showcasing its relativistic jets. Insets show a close-up of the jets and the Event Horizon Telescope's iconic first image of the supermassive black hole at M87's center, highlighting the connection between the black hole and the powerful jets it fuels. The galaxy is located 55 million light-years away in the Virgo cluster.
