Okay, I'll make straightforward copyedits as I go and post queries below. Please revert if I change meaning inadvertently. Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:37, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"'This is the largest and brightest galaxy within the northern Virgo Cluster, located about 55 million light years away from Earth - the way it reads, it isn't clear whether M87 or the Virgo Cluster (or both) is what is 55 million light years from earth.
"Messier 87 galaxy has no distinctive dust lanes... - do we need the "galaxy" here? Not written as such elsewhere.
This identification was confirmed by 1953 - odd wording. You mean "The soruce was confirmed as coming from M87" (?)
The only known visual observation of the jet was by Russian-American astronomer Otto Struve using the 254 cm (100 in) Hooker telescope - how/why?
and may indicate that the black hole has been accelerated by the jet - I don't follow - you mean "moved" or "displeced" or ..what?
The Virgo Cluster section could be expanded a little - M87's role in it, closest neighbours etc.
