![A Hubble Space Telescope image of the giant galaxy M87 shows a 3,000-light-year-long jet of plasma blasting from the galaxy's 6.5-billion-solar-mass central black hole. The blowtorch-like jet seems to cause stars to erupt along its trajectory. These novae are not caught inside the jet, but are apparently in a dangerous neighbourhood nearby. During a recent 9-month survey, astronomers using Hubble found twice as many of these novae going off near the jet as elsewhere in the galaxy. The galaxy is the home of several trillion stars and thousands of star-like globular star clusters. [Image description: A Hubble photo of galaxy M87, which resembles a translucent, fuzzy white cotton ball. The brightness decreases gradually out in all directions from a bright white point of light at the centre. A wavy blue-white jet of material extends from the point-like core outward to the upper right, about halfway across the galaxy. Stars speckle the background.]](https://nasaspacenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Hubble_s_view_of_M87_galaxy-2000x1200-1-75x75.jpg)
In this episode, we will explore the Cosmic Vine, a huge structure of galaxies that looks like a vine, stretching across the sky for 13 million light-years. The Cosmic Vine is one of the oldest and largest structures ever found in the early universe, and it challenges our understanding of how galaxies form and evolve. We will discuss how the Cosmic Vine was discovered, what are the properties of the galaxies in it, and what does it tell us about the origin and evolution of the cosmos.
