This is the First-Ever Photo of a Black Hole. This is a picture of the black hole at the center of the Messier 87 galaxy, which is 53.49 million light-years away. The black hole at its center is massive, some 6.5 billion times the mass of our sun, all contained in a single point of infinite density.“We exposed part of the universe we thought was invisible before,” Sheperd Doeleman, director of the Event Horizon Telescope, said at the press conference announcing the image Wednesday. “As with all great discoveries, this is just the beginning.”At the center of this image is the black hole. The visible reddish and white light surrounding it is material being destroyed by the immense gravity of the black hole. That light encircles the photon orbit, a region beyond which light could conceivably escape from but is unlikely to. Within that photon orbit, is the event horizon, the region beyond which no light can escape. - Study24x7
