Black hole real image

Before this first real image of a black hole every image of a black hole was a simulation or an illustration. This 'photo' was taken of the supermassive black hole at the centre of a giant elliptical galaxy called M87 around 55 million light-years away. This thing is humungous - around 6.5 billion times the mass of the Sun. #spaceandastronomy #space #and #astronomy

By now, we've all seen the history-making snapshot of the supermassive black hole at the centre of galaxy M87 staring back at us like the flaming eye of a vengeful god.

In a recent study, physicists employed NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to unveil the rotational speed of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole residing at the core of our galaxy.

The First Real Photo Of A Black Hole In Galaxy Picture. This is the first real photo of a black hole in galaxy Messier 87 image created by the Event Horizon Telescope EHT project - CC4 license - attribution must be given to EHT project. Image: 144892350

Harvard scientists led a team of about 200 researchers from 20 countries to create the first image ever made of a black hole.

Chandra - along with ESO's Very Large Telescope Array - spied a bright, variable supernova blast located in a galaxy 12 million light-years away. This image is a composite showing the central region of the galaxy in question, which is typically referred to as the Circinus galaxy. In the lower right hand […]
