Event Horizon Telescope Captures Unprecedented Images of Black Hole
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) team has just released the first-ever images of a black hole. The images, taken from the EHT, reveal a supermassive black hole and its shadow at the center of Messier 87, a massive galaxy in the nearby Virgo galaxy cluster. This is a major breakthrough for astronomy and astrophysics, as it is the first direct visual evidence of the existence of black holes. The EHT is a network of eight linked telescopes around the world, which allow astronomers to image the black hole at the center of the Virgo galaxy with unprecedented resolution. The team is currently studying the images and data to gain further insights into the nature of black holes.
