Happy Black Hole day everyone! The @ehtelescope team are announcing new results at noon today. You might remember the image released in 2019, showing the centre of the galaxy M87. (1/n)
That image, made with data from radio telescopes around the world, shows the silhouette of the massive black hole at the heart of M87. We’re not ‘seeing’ the black hole itself, just its effect on light, but it’s still an amazing image. (2/n)
The image is actually a reconstruction; it takes many months for the data from the different telescopes to be combined, and it’s not as if they spit out an image. Instead, what we see is a model that’s consistent with the data. (Producing this is a wonderful piece of work) (3/n)
