CITY, State (Fox News) — Scientists have traced a 3,000-light-year-long cosmic jet from the first black hole ever imaged to its source point, uncovering insights about how black holes launch cosmic jets.

## Key Facts:
– The black hole, known as M87, is located in the Messier 87 Galaxy and is 6.5 billion times larger than the sun.
– The first image of M87 was released in 2019 by the Event Horizon Telescope.
– M87 is both supermassive and active, launching powerful jets of charged particles.

## Key Facts:
– The study represents progress in connecting theoretical ideas about jet launching with direct observations.
– The Event Horizon Telescope is a global network of radio observatories that can detect radio waves from astronomical objects.

## Key Facts:
– Event Horizon refers to the boundary of a black hole beyond which light can’t escape.
– Future observations with higher sensitivity are needed to confirm and improve understanding of the findings.
