Hubble Captures M88 on Journey to Center of Virgo Cluster

- Hubble imaged the active spiral galaxy Messier 88 (M88), about 63 million light‑years away. - M88 hosts a supermassive black hole ~100 million times the Sun’s mass and shows central gas outflows. - As a member of the Virgo Cluster, M88 is moving toward the cluster center and will approach M87 in ~200–300 million years, experiencing ram‑pressure stripping. - Astronomers observed M88 with Hubble program 18103 using the Wide Field Camera 3 to study spiral galaxies in crowded environments.
