    Physicist John Wheeler, who promoted the term "black hole" and was one of the first to explore its properties, would have been delighted by the first black hole image. Here he explains how black holes were named:

    To put today's black hole image into context, here's a zoom in to the core of galaxy M87. The Event Horizon Telescope has 2,500 times better resolution than Hubble.

    Computer scientist Katie Bouman and her awesome stack of hard drives for image data 😍 — reminds me of Margaret Hamilton and her Apollo Guidance Computer source code. 👩🏽‍🔬

    Here’s something similar, from . The image of the supermassive black hole at the heart of M87, a simulation, and the simulation adjusted to reflect the resolution of the EHT — their guess for what we’d see! Image: Akiyama et al and ApJL

    3 years ago MIT grad student Katie Bouman led the creation of a new algorithm to produce the first-ever image of a black hole. Today, that image was released. More info: 2016 story:

    “There is some faint echo, which reaches back across 100 years, to the kind of observations that were done to first vet general relativity" 's Shep Doeleman on why the project resonates with people all over the world.

    In 2015, director Shep Doeleman spoke with about how exactly they link together 8 telescopes around the globe, describing their project as “adventure science”. Read more about it here:

    The team built an Earth-sized telescope by linking radio dishes around the world. In April 2017, all they all swiveled to look at the supermassive black hole at the center of Messier 87, a galaxy in Virgo constellation.

    Something very cool for everyone getting home from to read on the train/plane. Research fully open access as well at ApJL from AAS/IOP

    There's a brief write-up at here: with more images. Here's the image seen (left) compared with a simulation (middle) and the simulation blurred to the expected resolution of the telescope (right). (Image via Akiyama et al & ApJL)

    Blurry image as seen, left. (It looks like a fuzzy bright donut.) Center has a swirly sharp image with a bright ring and a dark hole in the middle, with a label of the scale showing 40 micro-arcseconds. Then on the right is the simulation image blurred so that it looks pretty much exactly like the observed image.

    The supermassive black hole at the heart of M87 is nearly the size of our Solar System. Its also an active black hole, powering huge jets & having a dynamic impact across its host galaxy
