First ever image of black hole captured by team of Harvard scientists and astronomers
A global team of astronomers, led by Harvard scientists, have captured an image of a black hole for the first time. The result of a massive, yearslong effort by dozens of researchers, the Event Horizon Telescope focused on a pair of supermassive black holes the one at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, known as Sagittarius A, and a second that lies at the heart of an elliptical galaxy called M87.
