Black Hole Event Horizon Highlights: First-Ever Direct Photograph Of Black Hole M87 Event Horizon Revealed

Researchers have captured an incredible new photo taken of a black hole ~58 million light years from Earth.

The European Southern Observatory announced earlier this week that they have some big news to share. The international collaboration, Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project, has now shared the very first images of a black hole’s event horizon.

The EHT project has spent years on a singular mission: to capture images of the immediate environment of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, which is at the centre of the Milky Way. Also on EHT’s agenda has been to try documenting an even larger black hole in the Messier 87 galaxy, which is a little over 50 million light-years from our planet.

First ever image of a Black Hole.

Taking photographs of a black hole’s interior is impossible because any light that comes too close to its horizon get pulled into these gravitational mammoths and is lost forever. This boundary, or point of no return, is the event horizon, which is the specific part of the black hole the EHT project hopes to ultimately capture on with its global telescope network.
