BLACK HOLE FIRST IMAGE EVER

in #science5 years ago (edited)

This is really an exciting time to be alive...

Below is the combined picture of a black hole captured by telescopes all over the world synchronized with each others by atomic clocks...

It is a humbling experience as mentioned by one scientist there and really a lucky combination to be able to have the right amount of telescopes with the right requirements for this amazing task that involved the capture of a huge amount of data in just a few hours as the Earth turned... also there is something related to the size of Earth being perfect for the task which I didn't understand frankly but there you go...

I always said if you want to watch the end of the universe all you have to do is build stronger telescopes and that is what one of the scientist said but also he talked about the future involving ''space telescopes'' which sounds exciting enough as is
