Picture offers first direct evidence that vast object sits at the centre of the Milky Way

There's a monster twirling around in the centre of our galaxy, and its portrait has finally been unveiled. So what now?

Phenomenon only second one to be imaged, a feat achieved using Event Horizon Telescope

The photo of the Sagittarius A* black hole was made by eight synchronised radio telescopes around the world.

Whoa.

Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy.

Feat described as equivalent to ‘locating an apple on the surface of the moon’

WASHINGTON (AP) — Scientists on Wednesday revealed the first image ever made of a black hole, depicting a fiery ring of gravity-twisted light swirling around the edge of the abyss.The...

Gummi Peach Rings, singed with a blowtorch.

Don Lincoln writes that the image of a black hole looks like a ring of light with a shadow in the middle because of fast-moving heated gas that glows and emits electromagnetic radiation.

Black holes can contain the mass equivalent to a large mountain to the mass of thousands and even millions times greater than the mass of the sun.

But they're key to future self-driving cars.

In April 2017, scientists used a global network of telescopes to see and capture the first-ever picture of a black hole, according to an announcement by researchers at the National Science Foundation Wednesday morning. They captured an image of the supermassi…

Until recently, the only way to picture a black hole was to imagine what that incredibly dense object might look like or take a look at a talented artist’s interpretation. Now, thanks to a worldwide effort involving hundreds of researchers and eight telescope…

And it's just the beginning

Scientists revealed the first-ever image of a black hole in what experts called a monumental discovery that confirms some of Albert Einstein’s long-standing theories about general relativity.

The black hole has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the sun.

The Event Horizon telescope captures the first-ever image of a black hole near the Messier 87 galaxy.

Using a global network of telescopes to see "the unseeable," an international scientific team on Wednesday announced a milestone in astrophysics - the first-ever photo of a black hole - in an achievement that validated a pillar of science put forward by Alber…

The very first photograph ever taken of a black hole has been revealed.

The highly anticipated photo shows a dark core, encircled by a bright orange halo of white-hot gas and plasma.

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 research…

A gravitational lens at a point particle will always look like a black hole/black sphere *With a black star in the center it would appear as though it was invisible to us all Is that the “singularity” then, the black star ?
