M87 Jet: Streaming out from
the center of the galaxy M87 like a cosmic
searchlight is one of nature's most amazing
phenomena, a black-hole-powered jet of electrons
and other sub-atomic particles traveling at
nearly the speed of light. In this Hubble
telescope image, the blue jet contrasts with the
yellow glow from the combined light of billions
of unseen stars and the yellow, point-like
clusters of stars that make up this galaxy. Lying
at the center of M87, the monstrous black hole
has swallowed up matter equal to 2 billion times
our Sun's mass. M87 is 50 million light-years
from Earth.

Martian landforms
These bizarre landforms at the Martian south pole, which are larger
than a small town and taller than 2 to 3 people, could be made of
dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide).
