A telescopic view of the giant elliptical galaxy M87 (NGC 4486), the dominant galaxy in the Virgo Cluster. M87, over 120,000 light-years across, is larger than our Milky Way and contains a supermassive black hole, producing a high-energy jet visible near the one o'clock position. Other galaxies, including NGC 4478 and NGC 4476, are also visible in this deep-space image.
