False-color view of the giant galaxy M87 combining visible-light observations (Credits: SDSS, MegaCam/CFHT, MEGARA/GTC). The diffuse white light traces billions of old stars, while the red structures reveal the network of filaments extending largely to the left of the galaxy’s center. The two zoomed regions correspond to areas observed in detail with MEGARA/GTC, showing the inner (right) and outer (left) filaments of particular interest within this complex system.
