THE FIRST IMAGE OF BLACK HOLE

-We are looking into space, into towards galaxy, a giant galaxy 53.5 milion light
year away from us. A very very big galaxy which was suspected to host a
suppermassive black hole in the very center. Hundred and one year ago someone
discovered a streak of light which is plasma shooting out of centre of the Milky
Way(Our galaxy) marking the suppermassive black hole. I never believed that this
black hole as big as people said until we saw that. This is the nuclear of galaxy
M87 and the first ever image of the black hole.

What is black hole?

-A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects
that nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can
escape from inside it.
-At the very center of the black hole is Singularity. A region where the spacetime
curvature becomes infinite. A point that break all the physic laws.
-The boundary of the region from which no escape is possible is called the event
horizon. That means if you go there, you will never comback.
Type of Black hole
ACCORDING TO NASA, THERE ARE 3 MAIN TYPE OF BLACK HOLE:
-Stellar Black hole from when a massive star collapses. They have masses
ranging from about 5 to several tens of our Sun.
-Primordial black hole, which would have mass much smaller than that of our Sun.
No one has ever discovered a primordial black hole but it's possible that
primordial black holes could have formed shortly after the "Big Bang," which is
thought to have started the universe 13.7 billion years ago.
-Supermassive black holes, which can have a mass equivalent to billions of suns,
likely exist in the centers of most galaxies, including our own galaxy. And the
image we saw is this type of Black hole.

How the image were made?

- A black hole isn't an easy thing to photograph, not even the light can escape
from it. By definition, they are invisible. So how can you take a picture of a black
hole?
-Actualy we can “see” it’s shawdow? Despite that fact, we still need an earth-zize
telescopce which clearly impossible to made to take picture of a black hole. But
where one telescope is weak, many telescopes standing together are strong. And
so it was that eight powerful telescopes across the globe banded together to form
a consortium known as the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).
-Processing the massive amount of data eight telescopes can generate was a
challenge in its own right. Scientists like MIT’s Katie Bouman (above) had to
develop algorithms to take 5 petabytes of data and make sense of it.
-It’s just like a puzzle with infinite number of possibilities. How do we know which
one is right? Even we already have few sample or simulations of black hole, But
we don’t know those simulations is right or not. In fact, a lot of things different in
reality compare to theories more or less.
-But they had overcome all of it and confirm the theory of Albert Einstein about
Black hole. And this is how they reconstruct the image.
-And last, thanks the Event horizon telescope collaboration for this geart
discovery.
