Major event in the history of astronomy. For the first time, a consortium of scientists working on the “Event Horizon Telescope” project unveiled the first image of a black hole. In astrophysics, “a black hole is a celestial object that aspires everything in its path, matter as light”.
In other words, it is a star so compact that the intensity of its gravitational field “prevents any form of material or radiation from escaping it.” Until now, the representations of these objects were numerical.
