Apr 10, 2019 · The supermassive black hole imaged by the EHT is located in the center of the elliptical galaxy M87, located about 55 million light years from Earth. This image was captured by FORS2 on ESO's Very Large Telescope.

May 12, 2022 · An international team of astronomers led by scientists at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian who produced the first direct image of a black hole three years ago have now produced a portrait of a second, this time a much-anticipated glimpse of one at the heart of the Milky Way.

Jan 19, 2024 · A second image of the first black hole ever pictured by humanity, the supermassive black hole in M87, taken one year later shows its shadow persists just as Einstein predicted.

May 12, 2022 · Scientists have obtained the first image of a black hole, using Event Horizon Telescope observations of the center of the galaxy M87. The image shows a bright ring formed as light bends in the intense gravity around a black hole that …

May 12, 2022 · First image of Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Black holes are invisible by nature. Their pull is inescapable, forever trapping any light that falls into their gravitational abyss.

Apr 10, 2019 · The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), which uses a network of telescopes around the globe to turn all of Earth into an enormous radio telescope, has taken the first direct image of a black...

May 12, 2022 · The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has created a single image (top frame) of the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy, called Sagittarius A* (or Sgr A* for short), by combining images extracted from the EHT observations.

Apr 10, 2019 · Using the Event Horizon Telescope, scientists obtained an image of the black hole at the center of galaxy M87, outlined by emission from hot gas swirling around it under the influence of strong gravity near its event horizon.

Feb 2, 2025 · The new paper, titled “The Persistent Shadow of the Supermassive Black Hole of M87”, was published in Astronomy & Astrophysics and presents additional images of M87*.
