Scientists have obtained the first image of a black hole, using Event Horizon Telescope observations of the center of the galaxy M87. The image shows a bright ring formed as light bends in the intense gravity around a black hole that is 6.5 billion times more massive than the Sun. This long-sought image provides the strongest evidence to date for the existence of supermassive black holes and opens a new window onto the study of black holes, their event horizons, and gravity.
On April 10th 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration presented its first results -- an image of the super massive black hole in galaxy M87 -- in multiple simultaneous press conferences around the world. The official EHT press release appears on the home page of (EHT)'s website. This page contains links to recorded press conferences, press releases from (EHT)'s partner institutions, and supporting materials published along with press releases.
The detail analysis of the story will we be soon make available here,,,, Till then enjoy the original press release of the institutions.
