See The First Ever Photo of a Black Hole
on: April 10, 2019, 08:55:33 PM



The black hole is 500 million trillion km away and was photographed by a network of eight telescopes across the world.

 Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy.
It measures 40 billion km across - three million times the size of the Earth - and has been described by scientists as "a monster".

The photo features a central dark region with a bright light forming a sickle on one side with the other side not as bright.

The supermassive black hole was captured by 8 telescopes from around earth, using a Very-Long-Baseline-Interferometry to create a virtual telescope around the size of the earth.
