☆ This new photo of a supermassive black hole is unlike any before, showing powerful magnetic fields spiraling around it

Read previewThe supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy has a side you've never seen before. A new image reveals powerful magnetic fields swirling around our hometown black hole, which is called Sagittarius A* (pronounced "A-star"). EHT had previously imaged its first black hole, Messier 87, in polarized light as well, though it doesn't look quite as striking:The Messier 87 supermassive black hole imaged in polarized light. EHT CollaborationSince both black holes have similar structures of magnetic fields, despite their immense difference in size, the EHT scientists now suspect that all supermassive black holes might have magnetic structures like this. Bigger black hole breakthroughs may be in storeFurther imaging with new innovative techniques and technologies could reveal even more secrets of supermassive black holes, both big and small.

☆ New image reveals violent events near a supermassive black hole

[1/2] This image shows the jet and shadow of the black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy together for the first time. The supermassive black hole pictured resides at the center of a relatively nearby galaxy called Messier 87, or M87, about 54 million light-years from Earth. This black hole, with a mass 6.5 billion times that of our sun, was the subject of the first image of such an object ever obtained, released in 2019, with another black hole pictured last year. Seeing the entire scene in the vicinity of a supermassive black hole can be insightful. The EHT project has yielded the images of the two supermassive black holes.
☆ First photo of a black hole resembles 'skinny' doughnut
  + stars: | 2023-04-14 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
CNN —The first photo ever taken of a black hole looks a little sharper now. The central region is darker and larger, surrounded by a bright ring as hot gas falls into the black hole in the new image. The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration, called EHT, is a global network of telescopes that captured the first photograph of a black hole. Computers using PRIMO analyzed more than 30,000 high-resolution simulated images of black holes to pick out common structural details. But if heated materials in the form of plasma surround the black hole and emit light, the event horizon could be visible.
☆ Scientists unveil new and improved 'skinny donut' black hole image
  + stars: | 2023-04-13 | by ( Will Dunham | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
WASHINGTON, April 13 (Reuters) - The 2019 release of the first image of a black hole was hailed as a significant scientific achievement. There is also a larger "brightness depression" at the center - basically the donut hole - caused by light and other matter disappearing into the black hole. This supermassive black hole resides in a galaxy called Messier 87, or M87, about 54 million light-years from Earth. The M87 black hole image stems from data collected by seven radio telescopes at five locations on Earth that essentially create a planet-sized observational dish. "The image we report in the new paper is the most accurate representation of the black hole image that we can obtain with our globe-wide telescope."

☆ Вглядываясь в бездну. Первая в истории фотография черной дыры
  + stars: | 2020-10-13 | by ( Редакция Vp | ) vocea.md   time to read: 1 min
Ученые из международного проекта Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) впервые в истории показали изображение черной дыры. Черная дыра это сверхмассивное коллапсара в далекой галактике Messier 87, находящейся в скоплении Девы. Расстояние до этой черной дыры — около 50 млн световых лет, или почти 500 квинтиллионов (500 миллионов триллионов) километров. Чтобы ее сфотографировать, потребовалась сеть из восьми телескопов, расположенных на разных континентах. Открытие сверхмассивных черных дыр дает ученым новые возможности по изучению как самих черных дыр, так и по использованию их для проверки общей теории относительности Альберта Эйнштейна в сильном гравитационном поле от этих черных дыр.
