Research Highlights

The first direct image of a supermassive black hole. Captured by the Event Horizon Telescope, a network of eight radio telescopes spread across the world, the image shows the bright, spinning disk of material around the galaxy M87's supermassive black hole. Due the the intense gravity present near black holes, the appearance of the disk is warped. (Credit: EHT Collaboration.)
