Black holes have captured the imagination of scientists and others since Einstein first theorized of their existence a century ago. Scientists now have revealed the first image of a black hole.
Scientists on Wednesday revealed the first image ever made of a black hole, depicting its hot, shadowy edges where light bends around itself in a cosmic funhouse effect.
Researchers at the University of Arizona who are part of the worldwide Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration have played a key role in black hole imaging.
