After two years of data processing, EHT released its first image of a black hole, at the center of the Messier 87 galaxy. [157] [158] What is visible is not the black hole—which shows as black because of the loss of all light within this dark region. Instead, it is the gases at the edge of the event horizon, displayed as orange or red, that ...
In this image of M87* taken on 11 April 2017 (a representative example of the images collected in a global 2017 EHT campaign), the shadow of a black hole is the closest we can come to an image of the black hole itself, a completely dark object from which light cannot escape.
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 ...

To create the footage, the Event Horizon Telescope team — the research group behind the discovery of the original black hole image — dug out old data and combined it with a mathematical model ...
Three years after capturing the first image of a supermassive black hole in a galaxy 55 million light years away, astronomers have managed to "photograph" one closer to home.
The first image of a black hole just became even more fascinating. At the center of the Messier 87 (M87) galaxy is a supermassive black hole about 38 billion kilometers wide, a behemoth so dense ...
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).
