Messier 87 Galaxy is the 41st Interstellar Object, the 9th Galaxy, and the 2nd Elliptical obtained in the Beyond (Rank 28), which can generate Stardust 
.
Description[]
"At the heart of the Virgo Cluster, the galactic boss of the supercluster weighs 2.4 trillion Suns. From 50 million light years away, we can see M87 through small telescopes. Old and elliptical, it grew into a behemoth by snacking on lots of smaller galaxies."

Supermassive Black Hole | M87’s dark heart is the first black hole imaged directly, in 2019. The fuzzy orange ring shows radio emissions from tormented matter around it. The unseeable mass itself weighs 6.5 billion Suns and spans twice the width of the solar system. It is actively feeding. | Generator Unlocked |
|
Relativistic Jets | M87 is stripping the space around it of matter, gobbling up globular clusters of stars like popcorn. Some of that massive inflow shoots back out in the form of two relativistic polar jets—high-energy particles zooming at nearly the speed of light. | Supermassive Black Hole |

Blazars | A blazar is an active galactic nucleus (AGN) with a relativistic jet pointing at Earth—easy for gamma-ray telescopes to spot. The super-hot accretion disk emits 2 trillion times the Sun’s energy. The earliest blazars formed less than 2 billion years after the Big Bang. | Messier 87 Galaxy Rank 3 |
|
Earliest Black Hole | A baby black hole, 10 times bigger than Sgr A, was born less than 470 million years after the Big Bang. How? With few old stars around, perhaps an immense gas cloud collapsed all at once. Two telescopes and gravitational lensing found it, 13.2 billion light years away. | Messier 87 Galaxy Rank 6 |
