Messier catalogued 110 objects to avoid because they were not actually the comets he sought. One of them is Messier 87, or M87 for short. Indeed M87 is not a comet. Here is an image of the M87 galaxy. The jets are powered by the black hole youtu.be/0lc05JsCIm0

It's not Sagittarius A*! It's M87! Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way. The image they've shown us is the supermassive black hole in a neighboring galaxy M87, 55 million light years away. Wow people. Wow. A better image to follow... pic.twitter.com/bz8l…
