First Photo Of A Black Hole

On April 10th 2019, astronomers at the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration, announced that they had taken the first ever picture of a black hole. A black hole is an area of space created by the collapse of a dying star. Albert Einstein theorized that the result of such an event would create an object so massive that its gravity would prevent light from escaping. The photo taken by the EHT was the product of eight radio telescopes in Hawaii, Arizona, Chile, Mexico, Antarctica, and Spain.
