Metadata

This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.

Image title	The Chandra image (top) shows the bright nucleus of M87 (extreme left) where a supermassive black hole resides, and a "knotty" X-ray jet blasting outward. The Very Large Array radio image of the jet (lower left) and the Hubble optical image (lower right), show a similar structure in the jet. Detailed Chandra data suggest that the jet is produced by strong electromagnetic forces created by matter swirling toward the supermassive black hole. Inside the jet, shock waves produce high-energy electrons that radiate as they spiral around the magnetic field, creating the observed radio, optical and X-ray knots.
