Time to shift attention, briefly, from ETH to EHT: Historical Black Hole Image! 黑洞揭秘！

There was a global live media exposure last night (Taipei time) to release this first ever black hole image in the history of mankind.

According to the website:

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) — a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration — was designed to capture images of a black hole. Today, in coordinated press conferences across the globe, EHT researchers reveal that they have succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow.

This amazing task was completed via the EHT linking telescopes around the globe to form an Earth-sized virtual telescope! Wow! incredible!

Taipei was among the global six cities to host this news event due to Taiwan's contribution in this historical science project. Feel pretty honored. ^_^

黑洞長什麼樣子？昨晚台北時間九點，全球同步發布人類史上第一張黑洞相片（其實是解析電波訊號後繪出的）！這是多年來跨國天文團隊的努力結合跟地球直徑一樣大的跨地點天文望遠鏡所達成的歷史性成就～～

黑洞一直是個超越人類直覺的科學名詞，這次終於可以讓世界對它多一些認識。說不定，昨晚的發佈，將啟發未來新一代的科學研究者呢（看電視受到啟發的小孩子的意思），呵呵！

台北因為台灣中研院團隊參與該計畫，而成為全球六個新聞發布會的城市之一，真是與有榮焉呢！

Okay, now we can shift attention back to ETH.... lol
