Hubble captures M88 on journey to center of Virgo cluster
The focus of this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image is an active spiral galaxy on a journey lasting hundreds of millions of years. The galaxy Messier 88 (M88), also known as NGC 4501, is located about 63 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices (Berenice's Hair).
Hubble captures M88 on a perilous journey that could change it forever
A stunning spiral galaxy called Messier 88 is racing through the crowded Virgo Cluster on a journey that will dramatically reshape its future. At its heart lies a supermassive black hole about 100 million times the mass of the Sun, while its graceful spiral arms sparkle with young star clusters and dark clouds of dust. But as M88 plunges deeper into the cluster over the next few hundred million years, powerful forces will strip away much of the …

Hubble Space Telescope captures spiral galaxy M88
New Delhi: The Hubble Space Telescope has observed the spiral galaxy designated as Messier 88 (M8*) or NGC 4501, located at a distance of 63 million lightyears in the constellation of Coma Berenices. An actively feeding supermassive black hole resides at the core of of the galaxy, that is scooping up the surrounding gas and dust. The central supermassive black hole is estimated to contain as much mass as 100 million Suns. The tortured infalling …
