Zooming in to the Heart of Messier 87

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. In coordinated press conferences across the globe, EHT researchers revealed that they succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow.
This zoom video starts with a view of ALMA and zooms in on the heart of M87, showing successively more detailed observations and culminating in the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole’s shadow.

[@CooManTunes]

'Recognized worldwide.' Just make sure it's not recognized, as much as Hollywood actors, ok? These astronomers may be geniuses, but they will never geniuses, on the level of actors. I mean, this is why actors get paid 20 million dollars, each time they memorize some lines and do a bunch of takes. Astronomers discover unearthly things, and never get to see a million dollars, in their lives. By all means, though. Continue watching KZbin, aka 'the picture book' of the modern world, and sending out your hollow praises.

Honestly how the team achieved this is unbelievable. Each site/telescope had to be perfectly synched in time with one another, the weather conditions had to be perfect on every site (basically half way across the world) and each team had to communicate and coordinate with each other to the last second. And the amount of not GB, not TB but PB they generated during this project was so vast I think it took them many months to process all the data using the most advanced and powerful computers.

Flat earthers be like "You see, the picture depicts that black holes are flat!" Congratulations to all EHT researchers. They got the equivalent of an earth-sized telescope by interference, something radio astronomers do all the time. I'm thinking about what techniques exist that would let us see a black hole in x-ray.

[@mandaglodon]

Just look like flat, but they are spherical or hyper spherical.

[@dare-er7sw]

The visible light and xay/infrared from the black hole was stretched into microwave region and the telescopes used captured a wavelength of only 1.3mm for this first image of a supermassive blackhole.

@@robiaharefin6876 The space between galaxies is constantly expanding due to dark energy.
