knapplc Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Oh, you know, no biggie, just the first ever direct image of a black hole. Quote Astronomers capture first image of a black hole The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) -- a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration -- was designed to capture images of a black hole. Today, in coordinated press conferences across the globe, EHT researchers reveal that they have succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow. This breakthrough was announced in a series of six papers published in a special issue of The Astrophysical Journal Letters. The image reveals the black hole at the center of Messier 87, a massive galaxy in the nearby Virgo galaxy cluster. This black hole resides 55 million light-years from Earth and has a mass 6.5-billion times that of the Sun. If you click the headline it takes you to a page with some animations, that I didn't care to d/l and put here. But they're kinda cool. Fair warning - the site was super slow when I was grabbing the stuff here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
