Yes, it happened. After years of relying on computer-generated imagery, scientists using the Event Horizon Telescope have captured the first real image of a black hole. The snapshot of the ...
The famous first picture of the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy might not be accurate, a new study has claimed. The picture – initially published in 2022, after years of ...
Over a year ago, a group of researchers made a revolutionary breakthrough when they successfully captured the first-ever image of a celestial phenomenon — a black hole. The short sequence of ...
Katherine Louise Bouman (/ ˈ b aʊ m ə n /; [1] born 1989) is an American engineer and computer scientist working in the field of computational imaging.She led the development of an algorithm for imaging black holes, known as Continuous High-resolution Image Reconstruction using Patch priors (CHIRP), and was a member of the Event Horizon Telescope team that captured the first image of a ...
(it's, literally, just a black hole with some distortion on a picture of space). The first image shows no sign that it's done as a serious scientific explanation rather than fan art of some sort. The alternative may have a better explanation of why it's important in helping to understand a black hole but I can't read it (if someone wants to ...
Cygnus X-1 (abbreviated Cyg X-1) [11] is a galactic X-ray source in the constellation Cygnus and was the first such source widely accepted to be a black hole. [12] [13] It was discovered in 1964 during a rocket flight and is one of the strongest X-ray sources detectable from Earth, producing a peak X-ray flux density of 2.3 × 10 −23 W/(m 2 ⋅Hz) (2.3 × 10 3 jansky).
2012 — First visual evidence of black-holes: Suvi Gezari's team in Johns Hopkins University, using the Hawaiian telescope Pan-STARRS 1, publish images of a supermassive black hole 2.7 million light-years away swallowing a red giant [4]
A supermassive black hole lurks at the center of our galaxy -- but we've never seen it. This Earth-size virtual telescope could take the first picture of a black hole Skip to main content
