Researchers confirm the spin of the M87 galaxy's supermassive black hole by observing the wobble in its jet, using two decades of data from global radio telescopes. This discovery marks a significant advancement in black hole studies. The supermassive black hole at the heart of galaxy M87, made f
In 2017, astronomers captured the first image of a black hole by coordinating radio dishes around the world to act as a single, planet-sized telescope. The synchronized network, known collectively as the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), focused in on M
Scientists have captured the first image showing the violent events around a black hole, showing the point from which a jet of high-energy particles is formed. The image was created using 16 telescopes around the world and shows the entire system around a black hole for the first time.
