Difference between BL Lacertae object and Messier 87

BL Lacertae object vs. Messier 87

A BL Lacertae object or BL Lac object is a type of galaxy with an active galactic nucleus (AGN), named after its prototype, BL Lacertae. Messier 87 (also known as Virgo A or NGC 4486, generally abbreviated to M87) is a supergiant elliptical galaxy in the constellation Virgo.

Similarities between BL Lacertae object and Messier 87

BL Lacertae object and Messier 87 have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Active galactic nucleus, Astrophysical jet, Elliptical galaxy, Hubble Space Telescope, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Quasar, Radio galaxy, Superluminal motion.

Active galactic nucleus

An active galactic nucleus (AGN) is a compact region at the center of a galaxy that has a much higher than normal luminosity over at least some portion—and possibly all—of the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that the excess luminosity is not produced by stars.
