6 rare black hole images shared by NASA
Centaurus A: The image presents an elliptical galaxy encircled by a dark dust lane, observed through a ground-based telescope. J043947.08+163415.7: A shiny quasar can be seen in the image, which is powered by a supermassive black hole in the early Universe. It is the brightest quasar discovered by the researchers at that time.
