Duccio Macchetto 2 +, John Biretta 2 1 Florida Institute of Technology, 2 STScI, 3 Harvard-Smithsonian CfA, + ESA 209 th Meeting American Astronomical Society, Seattle, 5-10 January 2007 ABSTRACT Near-Ultraviolet imaging with HST offers the best possible spatial resolution currently available for optical/UV astronomical imaging. The giant elliptical galaxy M87 hosts one of the most spectacular, best studied and nearest (d=16 Mpc) galactic-scale relativistic (synchrotron emitting plasma) jets. We have extracted from the HST archive all 220 nm images of the jet of M87, taken with the STIS MAMA camera and co-added them to provide the deepest image ever at this wavelength. The combination of highest spatial resolution and long integration time, 42,500 seconds, reveals a wealth of complex structure, knots, filaments and shocks. We compare this image with deep imaging data in other wavebands.

For centuries, astronomers learned about the sky by studying the light coming from astronomical objects, first by simply looking at the objects, and later.
