It may have been the first black hole imaged by humanity, but the eating habits of the supermassive black hole M87* aren't pretty. That is what astronomers discovered when assessing turbulence in ...

Observations from 2017 and 2018 by the Event Horizon Telescope have enhanced understanding of the supermassive black hole M87*, focusing on its turbulent accretion flow.
