Event Horizon 'Scope
@ehtelescope
We image black holes (M87* (2019), Sgr A* (2022)) with an Earth-sized telescope

#OTD 5 years ago, the Event Horizon 'Scope (EHT) shared the first image ever of a #BlackHole !
The black hole was M87*, and since then, the EHT also imaged Sgr A* (the black hole at the heart of our galaxy) and both objects in polarised light.
Can you say which image matches each? 1/
#OTD in 2019, Event Horizon 'Scope “snapped” the first image of a black hole — M87* at the center of galaxy M87. Scientists have studied it for years, because of its stunning jet. Watch this zoom-in of M87 with visible, X-ray, and radio images, ending on that historic black hole image.

🌀M87* Event Horizon 'Scope One year later: proof of the persistent shadow of a black hole. The stability of the diameter measured in the 2017 to 2018 images strongly supports the conclusion that M87* is well described by general relativity. 🔗almaobservatory.org/en/press-relea…
The Event Horizon 'Scope — to which ESO contributes through its involvement in ALMA Observatory📡 and APEX telescope — has unveiled a new image of the supermassive #BlackHole in the M87 galaxy, 55 million light-years away! 1/ 📡〰️⚫️
Yep, Einstein is STILL right!
New images of the supermassive M87* region confirm 'the shadow of the #blackhole ' predicted by general relativity –a huge milestone & further indication that we're truly seeing a black hole. bit.ly/3O7Zb73
