Detailed explanation-1: -It was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope, an array which linked together eight existing radio observatories across the planet to form a single “Earth-sized” virtual telescope.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 2019 the EHT released the first ever image of black hole at the center of the supergiant elliptical galaxy M87, which is in the constellation Virgo. It revealed a bright ring-like structure with a dark central region - the black hole’s shadow.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1974 American astronomers Bruce Balick and Robert Brown pointed radio telescopes in Green Bank, W. Va., at the center of the Milky Way and discovered a dim speck they suspected was our galaxy’s central black hole. They found the speck in a slice of sky known as Sagittarius A.
Detailed explanation-4: -Now, following six years of meticulous observations, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has provided, for the first time ever, strong evidence for a lone black hole drifting through interstellar space.
