Scientists have obtained the first image of a black hole, using Event Horizon Telescope observations of the center of the galaxy M87. The image shows a bright ring formed as light bends in the intense gravity around a black hole that is 6.5 billion times more massive than the Sun

Breaking news: the Event Horizon Telescope team unveils strong magnetic fields spiraling at the edge of Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*. This new image suggests that strong magnetic fields may be common to all black holes. #OurBlackHole #SgrABlackHole

For the first time, EHT scientists have mapped the magnetic fields around a black hole using polarized light waves. With this breakthrough, we have taken a crucial step in solving one of astronomy’s greatest mysteries. Credit: EHT Collaboration #MagnetizedBlackHole #EHTBlackHole

From Brussels: "Finally! No more simulations. You are looking for the very first time, at a real black hole." #EHTblackhole #realblackhole #blackholecam

It was a pleasure for us scientists to work with the animator Nicolle R. Fuller and the @NSF on this beautiful #NSFfunded animation showing how paths of photons are bent around the black hole to form a circular ring outlining the #realblackhole in M87. @BlackHoleCam #EHTblackhole
