When the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) captured the black hole lying in the centre of the Messier 87 (M87) galaxy in April 2017, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory took a wider view of the target.
The result is a mesmerising zoomed-out photo of the black hole in full view.
The Observatory's team offered details on the bright particles seen in the black hole in a blog post.
They said:
"While Chandra can't see the shadow itself, its field of view is much larger than the EHT's, so Chandra can view the full length of the jet of high-energy particles launched by the intense gravitational and magnetic fields around the black hole. This jet extends more than 1,000 light years from the center of the galaxy."
